    Bitlocker VHD not mounting


    When I try to mount my bitlocker-encrypted VHD file, I get the following error message:


    Couldn't Mount File, Make sure the file is in NTFS volume and isn't a compressed folder or volume


    When I previously and successfully mounted the vhd, I was prompted for the BitLocker password. But now there is no password prompt and I get the latter error.


    How do I get this vhd to mount?

    :)

    Bitlocker VHD Errors

    I have a number of VHD's which are encrypted with bitlocker. When I either double click one of the VHD files or right click and select the 'Mount' option I get an error 'Location is not available' 'X:\ is not accessible' 'Access is denied'. Then the tab
    appears which lets me enter the bitlocker password for the VHD and it mounts. Is there a way to prevent the error screen coming up every time prior to entering the password?

    Thanks

    Vhd file is corrupted and can't be mounted.

    I also believe it might be a compatibility issue. I am currently on Windows 10 Home Insider Preview Build 16299. I reverted back to the previous build, but I couldn't mount the virtual disk and got a message saying it was corrupted. I have since again re-updated
    to 16299 and I have the same issue. I will wait until the next two updates to see if it can be mounted.

    Also, I don't believe Bitlocker is available on Windows 10 Home. It is only a feature on Pro. However, despite of this, the VHD was working perfectly for the last 10 months.

    Bitlocker VHD not mounting

    Anniversary update & bitlocker encryted vhd drive problem

    what i found about my case is almost exactly in this post:

    BitLocker protected VHD volume corrupted

    My case:

    Drive C: encrypted with Mcafee, on this drive there is VHD file encrypted with bitlocker. After copying VHD file to drive E: and decrypting C: and then updating to Anniversary update all I can do is to mount VHD and OS ask me to format this virtual drive,
    and it is seen as RAW partition. Deinstalling Anniversary update does not help.
