    windows 10 bitlocker vhd connection error


    Hello.


    I'm using two physical hard drives encrypted with bitlocker as FDEfull 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 filemy_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.

    :)

    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

    Steve

    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 Bug?

    Whenever I attach the Bitlocker-encrypted VHD, windows 10 immediately tries to explore the new drive and pops up a blank explorer window and an error "H:\ is not accessible. Access is denied." Then I am prompted for a password. Windows 7 foes not display
    this behavior. I haven't tested windows 8, but I suspect this error will occur there, as well.
