    Decryption

    I encrypted my other HDD I use for storage for specific reasons, so I started the decryption process and my computer went to sleep mode not finishing the decryption. Now at startup it will start the decryption process but will only do it for about 2
    or 3 minutes, the decryption process stops and all of a sudden that drive just disappears. How can I fix this problem? Did the decryption process corrupt my drive while it went to sleep mode? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  3. Failure when upgrading to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

    In my case I was able to perform the upgrade after decrypting my hard disk. I use a third party tool called
    Becrypt. It loads a sequence during the boot start up. I had to remove it first by uninstalling the application (Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs) and then decrypting the hard disk. It took 160 hours to decrypt it, but at the end the
    upgrade carried out smoothly.

    Maybe you need to turn off "Secure Boot". My first thought.

    We could use a lot more information. What did you Encrypt the drive with? BitLocker or something else?
    Boot into Setup (Bios) go to the Security tab, as suggested, turn Secure or Safe Boot OFF. Go to the Boot tab, is UEFI enabled or Legacy? If the computer was Encrypted while UEFI was enabled and it is set to Legacy, then you would need to change it to UEFI, or verse visa.

  6. By "decrypting" do you mean you are using BitLocker? What exactly do you mean by "Windows is not booting" - is there an error message?

  8. During decrypting my drive my windows10 is not starting

    Just to clarify the sequence of events:
    1. You started the Bitlocker decryption process.
    2. The system rebooted.
    3. Windows wouldn't boot
    4. You reinstalled Windows onto the same drive.
    5. ???
    6. You get "A recovery key was not found on this drive. The drive cannot be unlocked."

    How many drives do you have? Is Windows installed to the 1TB drive?

    At what point do you get the error message? Is it during installation or during boot?

    Boot off of the Windows installer, choose your Language, then press Shift+F10 to go directly to the Command Prompt.
    In the RE (recovery environment) Press Enter after typing each bold command:
    i) diskpart
    (ie) DISKPART >
    ii) list disk
    (ie) DISKPART > list disk
    It now lists disk by number
    you have to select the disk next with
    iii) select disk <disk number>
    (ie) DISKPART> Select Disk (disk number) = as listed in previous command. The selected disk now has an Asterisk next to it.
    iv) clean (this erases all data on the Disk, so be sure you choose the correct one)
    ie) DISKPART> clean
    v) list disk
    the status should be "online" and free space should be "disk size"
    ‘vi)exit
