Windows 10: Using Bitlocker To Encrypt a VHD

I have created a VHD on a portion of my current C Drive by way of the Disk Management. I have assigned it Drive X.From the Bitlocker panel, I have encrypted it as a non removable drive per the suggestions when encrypting.If I turn off Bitlocker to relock the drive, reboot, the subject X drive is no longer listed in the Fixed Data Drives list. Consequently, I can not remount the X drive via Bitlocker.How do I get it to be displayed in the list of fixed drives so I can remount it?I should also add, that I see the file name where I saved it on my C drive, but if I double click it, it does not

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

windows 10 bitlocker vhd connection error

Hello.

I'm using two physical hard drives encrypted with bitlocker as FDE(full disk encryption).

And I have one virtual hard drive encrypted with bitlocker in one of the two drives like below.

C:\ // bitlocker FDE, OS installed, Windows 10 Pro 1903 (64-bit)

D:\ // bitlocker FDE, for data storage

D:\my_secrets.vhd // virtual hard drive encrypted with bitlocker

And I assigned driver letter to X:\ for when the vhd file is connected.

last week, when I connected to the vhd file(my_secrets.vhd),

there are a error message with "the parameter is incorrect".

To solve this error, I looked disk management.

I could see X:\ drive file system is not NTFS but "unknown" (encrypted with bitlocker)

Then, I just removed assigned driver letter from registry and rebooted.

After rebooting, I connected the vhd file. And the connection was successful, assigned as F:\ drive letter.

But, today, the same problem is issued.

When I try to connect the vhd file, I can see same error message.

How can I solve this problem?

ps. I have copied vhd file to new one, but it's not solved after a few connections and booting.

Thanks.
