    Can not open drive D because BitLocker after reinstalling Windows 10


    Hi all,


    I've just re-installing Windows 10 with new installation from USB Drive. But after finishing, I can not access drive D with required BitLocker recovery key. Previously, I may not remember that I've already using BitLocker or not.

    How can I solve the problem?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    How to delete D drive encrypted by Bitlocker without password or recovery key?

    There's a Dell PC running Windows 10 in my office that a previous user had that they created an encrypted D drive with Bitlocker. The guy has left and nobody has proper contact with them.

    I don't care about the data on the D drive I just want to delete the drive off the PC. Steps I have already taken are:

    • Reinstall Windows
    • Reset the PC with the options "Remove everything" and "Only drives where windows is installed"

    When I chose the option "All drives" I get an error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC".

    Can anyone provide instructions on how to delete the D drive encrypted with Bitlocker?

    Can not open drive D because BitLocker after reinstalling Windows 10

    Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

    Here is the screenshot

    As you can see Drive D is no longer present in BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    When I click on this Drive under Explorer I got the option to FORMAT this Drive and when I click cancel I get the following.

    When I do Right Click on this Drive, I no longer see BitLocker option like I used to.
