    Windows 10 with BitLocker: AutoUnlock second drive for data recovery


    I have a BitLocker setup where C: is encrypted and D: as well using the same encryption setup. D: is set to auto unlock upon startup and that works well under normal circumstances.


    I am facing now a data recovery task. Booting Windows 10 into a recovery console allows me to unlock the C: drive using the BitLocker recovery key and then enter the users password. I do fail to access the D: drive though - how is that possible from the recovery console?

    :)

    Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

    As you can see BitLocker Option is not highlighted for selection. It's like Windows does not even recognize this drive as a locked drive. And this drive does contain lot of Data.
