My external HDD of 1.5 TB WD. Is encrypted by bitlocker, it usually works fine but now bitlocker is not responding. I tested it on 2 other computers running windows 7 and still nothing just a reagent for hours not unlock my phone please help as my United files are on it.

It is the critical flaw of bitlocker.  Something changes in the key or the disc and it's DOA.  Even a pro would not be able to do big thing and it would cost you a fortune.

Of course you have right to a backup?

  • BitLocker does not apply on a T400

    I have problems of application of bitlocker on a T400 Windows 7 64 bit despite the smart TPM is enabled in the BIOS. Evertime I try to launch bitlocker, I get the below error message:

    "the module trusted platform module (tpm) has not been activated." Try again or contact the computer manufacturer for BIOS upgrade instructions."

    I have run the lenovo update tool for updating all the drivers in windows and also updated and also the BIOS as well.

    The TPM chip shows no problems related to the hardware in the Device Manager and uses the standard Microsoft driver.

    I have also a problem running on any other modles of Lenovo laptops under the same company image of windows we use bitlocker.

    Did anyone here encountered a problem like this before?

    Original title: my bitlocker encrypted Drive not respoding after entering the password.

    Hello

    I tried to block my external hard drive with bitlocker, but unfortunetly got encryption interrupted before finishing because I accidentally unplugged the hard drive, I use windows 7... And now when I enter the password the bitlocker stops responding until I unplug the external drive, I tried to decipher the drive using bitlocker repair tool in cmd, but she also is stuck at 29% every time if I managed to get some data back but not my whole data.

    , I just want to know that is there any way to recover my entire data or unlock the drive?... .Please help!
    Thank you

    I'm sorry to say, but you have made two big mistakes:

    (a) you forgot to backup your data regularly, e.g. once per week.
    (b) you have not backed up your data before making a major change, such as when your data encryption.
    There is a small chance that you can repair the damage with the found here BitLocker Repair tool:

    If this isn't the case, then you will have to deal with this disaster as a harsh reminder that regularly back up the files is not an option but a 'must '.

  • EliteBook 1020: External keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker

    We had a few HP 1020 and 1040: models recently, and all have the same question. When the laptop is connected, the external keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker. It works in the BIOS and in Windows itself, but not in Bitlocker. This means that we must open the laptop screen to enter the Bitlocker pin, then let it open and GPO that dictates the computer into hibernation when the lid is closed. We have twisted the GPO, but in vain. Anyone else seen elsewhere or a solution?

    If the bios is up to date, I would look at the BIOS settings. I think that Fast Boot is enabled in your case, this may cause usb devices not to see in the stadium that BitLocker requires

  • EliteDesk 800 G1: EliteDesk 800 G1 does not boot UEFI disks immediately after-> UEFI BIOS change

    I am changing our configuration of the BIOS boot in the UEFI. I tried to simplify the problem.

    I boot via PXE BIOS of SCCM task sequence and perform following actions:

    1. Apply UEFI Secure Boot configuration with BiosConfigUtility (enable Secure Boot, boot which is ignored anyway... order)
    2. Fixed disk partition type as TPG
    3. Create Fat32 partition to boot EFI and an NTFS volume for the data
    4. Apply WinPE to NTFS and copy the boot (bcdboot) in Fat32 files
    5. Set the volume to Fat32 as ESP
    6. Reset

    Now BIOS does not allow me to start this disc. Disk appears in 'Device Configuration', but not in the boot order.

    If I start again to PXE (now in mode UEFI) and check the contents of the disc, everything seems in order. If I reapply my script to repeat steps 4 and 5, and then the next time the disc will apper in the boot and boot order.

    If before the first attempt of UEFI, I put in a known UEFI boot disk, the system does not start it no more.

    I think that there is a bug in the BIOS.

    I saw something similar with Z620. When to apply some config past to the BIOS, the system is no longer shows startup valid drives in the boot order (this attempt was in BIOS mode). Emulation of the RAID controller is switched back to AHCI has worked around him then. But this time I'm not emulation of the controller.

    As BiosConfigUtility reports that it has fixed start changes but when reading them back (before or after the restart, they are the same). It's not as important, but

    BiosConfigUtility 4.0.15.1

    BIOS final v2.68

    My repro led nowhere (successful boot) but I was hired by HP support and all by responding to their email, I accidentally found the question.

    My BIOS setup script was a command to disable temporarily BitLocker if configuration is repeated his request for a system that is already deployed.

    manage-bde-protectors-disable c:

    However, this had inexplicably FAT32 partition become encrypted. If I started to UEFI PXE SCCM WinPE on the next boot, silently erased WinPE encryption and system would be on hard disk again, causing confusion.

    But when, for a test, I booted a Linux LiveCD, it showed encryption.

    I guess it's been like this for a while but only in this case C: was be the UEFI boot partition (usually it's system partition). In hindsight, my repro of WinPE image have also components BitLocker...

    I deleted command BitLocker and now it starts normally on hard drive after the configuration change. Detective Conan for time to engage the support of Microsoft and HP...

  • Flow 10 7 HP - Windows does not start, I can't get into recovery 8.1 because cannot boot from USB-HELP Please!

    Hi all, I'm new here!

    I am (excuse me: has) with a stream 7

    A few days ago, I tried to install Windows 10 TP renovation 8.1 with Bing. After a while of waiting, he managed, but unfortunately I have forgiven to in SSD Tablet hp drivers, thinking that they were not necessary. If the touchscreen, WiFi and all the other stuff has failed. After I've got collegated by OTG, a keyboard and a mouse, that I managed to use Windows 10.

    Try to install the drivers, my fault, I opened a .exe from Realtek (perhaps for audio), Tablet asked to reboot and after that I can't access Windows anymore.

    I tried to start Windows 8.1 from a USB key, but it does not start, the same even if I disable secure boot.

    With disabled bitlocker Windows gives this error

    In the start option, I set these settings

    I put the USB in this way:

    The stream does not consider the USB absolutely XD

    If I turn on again the secure boot Windows gives this error (which 99% is caused by the .exe I installed):

    Restart the flow some time with secure boot it goes in a menu (where touch screen works) where there are a lot of options to reset Windows, but none of them doesn't work. If I try to format in this menu it asks password for my account, but it does not accept the mine :/

    If I try to open the collection (from volume button when it starts less) it gives this message:

    @fotogruia in my case, the indicated operating system was windows 10 and as I wrote it has worked well. Good luck!

  • "No boot device, press a key." Unable to access BIOS. Does not start a DVD. USB not a startup option.

    How can I get into the BIOS or boot from a Live CD or the Windows installation disk?

    Here's the background info:

    Laptop: Acer TravelMate P273-MG-6608

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Actions leading to the problem:

    I tried to encrypt the drive using BitLocker.

    On reboot, I get the error message "no boot device, press a key."

    When I hit a button, I get a boot menu that lists the HARD drive, DVD player and optional network initialization.

    Booting from either the HARD drive (of course) or DVD does not work.

    The discs I've tried:

    Acer system restore disk

    Restore Win 7 disc

    UBCD

    Hiren

    Ubuntu installation (Saw elsewhere on this forum that worked for someone).

    Methods that tried to access the BIOS:

    Turn on/off the laptop while holding down the key F2.

    While tapping the F2 key about once per second.

    Same thing with the delete key.

    Same thing with F10.

    Same thing with Alt + F10

    Same thing with F8.

    Each method has tried several times without success.

    Action taken:

    Removed the HARD drive and connected to a work computer. In doing so, I was able to recover all my files.

    Player settings appeared to all be correct. Drive letter C:, file NTFS format, primary partition, the recovery partition was there as well.

    Re-inserted the original in the laptop HARD drive - without success.

    Formatted the primary partition on the HARD drive, put it in the laptop, the same results.

    Formatted the entire HARD drive, put it in the laptop, the same results.

    What I see as options:

    1. format the HARD drive outside Windows, for example using Hiren's Boot CD and Gparted.

    2. in so doing, and imaging of the player with a 8.1 for Windows or ISO 7, if I can find a.

    3. If I can get into the BIOS, I should be able to get the laptop to boot from something. Or disable UEFI, which I think is part of the question.

    Any ideas on how I can enter the BIOS or get the laptop to boot from the HARD disk or a floppy disk?

    Solved.

    I downloaded the required BIOS file of:

    http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_2.08_A_A.zip?acerid=635114527449782829&S...

    Once downloaded, I extracted the files from the archive .zip.

    Then I low-level formatted a disk USB flash with the FAT32 file system.

    Once this is done, I copied the files from within the archive on the USB flash drive.

    With the USB stick inserted into the laptop, I turned on it while pressing ALT + ESC. This brough to the top of the screen where I choose to hit F2 for the program installation, or F12 for the boot menu.

    I pressed F2 and the BIOS came admin screen. Then I yelled something like ' Hallelujah! "

    I changed the MBR to the STRANGE device, put in the first disk to factory default retrieve and press F10 to save and exit the BIOS.

    The Acer splash screen went up, and the laptop booted into the recovery disc. It should work here.

    I hope this helps someone in the future.

I know that the BitLocker boot partition must have a size of at least 1500, and it should be active, but what files need to be on it so that BitLocker to run? What else do I need to do before I can activate BitLocker?

  • Windows 7 does not take into account swap file settings

    I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed on a system with a mirrored system disk and two disks no mirroring, including a SSD drive which is configured with ReadyBoost. Because mirroring is to the integrity of the data, and has a performance cost associated with it, I don't want any file on my system disk. Instead, I want that page files on non mirrored disks.

    So I use computer-> properties and go to the "advanced system settings" to bring up the System Properties dialog box. I click on the "Advanced" tab and in the 'Performance' section, click on 'Settings' to bring up the "Performance Options" dialog box Then I click the "Advanced" tab and in the "Virtual memory" section, click on 'Change' to bring up the dialog box 'virtual memory '. Here, it lists the drive letters and for each drive paging file options.

    I put the SSD (:)) has 'Custom size' with ' Initial size (MB): ' as 24576 and ' size maximum (MB): ' as 24576, click on 'Set'. "" "")

    I put the other disk not mirrored (b) 'Custom size' with ' Initial size (MB): ' as 24576 and ' size maximum (MB): ' as 24576, click on 'Set'.»»» "

    I put the system disk (c :)) "No paging file" and click "Set".) I also tried setting the system drive (c :)) "Minimum allowed" value of 16 MB (size initial and maximum size).)

    I get the warnings appropriate, if I didn't put "No paging file" and accept the consequences. If I put the pagefile to 16 MB on the system drive, I don't get a warning of not having a swap file.

    I reboot, to let the new settings take effect. When the system is in place, if I put "No paging file" on the system drive, Windows tells me that it has created a pagefile on the system drive, and the file is approximately the same size as the physical memory, i.e. 12 G and the "Performance Options" Advanced tab reports that "the file size for all readers of Total paging" is 12288MB.

    If, instead, I put the system drive for the authorized minimum 16 MB paging file, Advanced tab "Performance Options" reports "Total paging file for all readers size" is 16 MB.

    In any situation he always respects the settings specified in the dialog virtual memory for other readers.

    I checked that 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PageFileOnOsVolume' is set to 0, and 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\TempPageFile' does not exist OR has been set to 0 (Windows always change this parameter to 1 if I chose "No paging file" for the system volume.) So, I change it to 0, reboot and Windows it passes 1 ad creates the 12288 MB pagefile on the system volume).

    I disabled BitLocker - it does not start.

    I don't really know what hoops I have to pass through to convince Windows to use the swap file configuration that I specify. At the very least, if I put in place minimum swap file on the system drive, to avoid the essential consequences pagination on a mirrored disk performance and to prevent Windows from automatically creating the 12 G pagefile on the system drive, I expect that the other swap files on non mirrored disks will be used by the system , but dialogue "Performance Options" it is clear that single paging file in use is the one on the system volume - exactly what I don't want.

    Can you please tell me how to get Windows to my settings?

  • How to fix error 0 x 81000031. I tried recommended default restore libraries and it does not work.

    I'm unable to use the backup feature in Windows 7.  I get the error message 0 x 81000031.  Have you tried the recommended solution and it does not work.

    Hi married,

    Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

    From your post, it seems that you have found an error 0 x 81000031 when you try to perform a backup.

    1. When you say "Feature backup in Windows 7" are you referring to the utility of Windows backup program? If so, you can follow the instructions below.

    2. you save data on a CD/DVD, external hard drive or a network drive?

    When you save the data to an external hard drive, have you tried "scenario 2: BitLocker Drive encryption is activated'? '"

    If the problem still persists, try the following:

    Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check if you backup works very well.

    See: How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-user-account-control-by-using-the-slider

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

    It will be useful.

  • BitLocker could not be activated (with or without TPM)

    Hello
    I am evaluating the RTM of Windows 8 Enterprise of 90 days and you want to activate the full disk encryption. Unfortunately, Windows won't let me. I have a Dell D630 with integrated TPM v1.2 chip. At the start of the verification of the system (just before the start of the encryption process), I get the following error message:

    BitLocker could not be activated

    The Bitlocker encryption key could not be obtained. Ensure that the TPM Module (TPM) is on and ownership has been taken. If this computer doesn't have a TPM, check that the USB is inserted and available.
    C: is not encrypted.

    I had a peek in tpm.msc and status displays "the TPM module is ready for use. While searching for a solution in the web, I met several tpm.msc screenshots where the State had "TPM is ready for use and rights of ownership of the TPM secure was taken." Well this is rather well the error in the first place.
    TechNet has even distinguish the online instructions on taking possession of your TPM. Apparently, I need to initialize TPM according to the instructions. The problem is, I don't even have an option to boot available in the action menu on the right of tpm.msc.
    Well - I thought - if TPM behaves badly then just turn off and follow these Technet instructions on how to enable Bitlocker without TPM with the help of a USB key to decrypt the PC at startup...
    No luck either... after the system check, I met the same error message. Can anyone enlighten me on what I am doing wrong please?
    Cheers, Marcel
    P.S.:
    TPM is enabled in the BIOS
    BIOS is up to date
    Windows driver and TPM is up-to-date
