    Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

    That's not good. You can try re-installing Windows 8 and unlocking the drive, and disabling Bitlocker on that drive, before upgrading to 8.1. Though I have a bad feeling that even going back to Windows 8 might not help, I have a feeling the drive just bit the dust and corrupted the file system...

  3. Failure to unlock BitLocker encrypted HD after new windows 10 installation

    Hello Kostas,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

    You can use BitLocker Drive Encryption to help protect your
    operating system drive (the drive where Windows is installed), a
    fixed data drive (such as an internal hard drive), or a
    removable data drive
    (such as a USB flash drive).

    The way you unlock an encrypted drive depends on two things:

    • What kind of drive it is.
    • What kind of unlock method you chose when you set up BitLocker on the drive.
    I suggest you to refer to the following article and check if it helps.

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well).

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.

    Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

    I used a Bitlocker in Windows 8 PRO to Lock my Internal SATA Drive. I have formatted my PC twice in past and I was able to unlock it after each fresh installation of Windows 8.

    But Recently I did a fresh Installation of Windows using same Software and CDKEY. This time I did upgraded to Windows 8.1 including all the latest patches.
    Problem is When I click on my Drive, Windows give me the message " DO YOU WANT TO FORM IT" When I do click Cancel. I do the following message "The
    volume does not contain a recognized file system....."
    Here is the screenshot of error message

    Disk management shows a healthy Drive:

    I have done fresh installation of windows several times before but never had this issue. I was always able to restore security settings and unlock my drive using BITLOCKER.

    I have tried to unlock the drive with just Windows 8 pro and the problem persists.

    Additional Info:
    - Control Panel > BitLocker, Software no longer shows my drive under it.
    - Hardware specs remain the same before or after the issue.

    Any tech support would be great.
