Failure of encryption Bitlocker of Windows

Hey guys,.

The problem I have is after I created my ping and start the encryption process, I get the error "Bitlocker cannot encrypt one or several drives on this computer. This will remind you to encrypt this computer again. Contact your helpdesk if you need assistance. "I try every time I get the same result. No one knows what causes this error and how to solve?

  • How to remove encryption BitLocker on Windows 7

    I have one of my drives with BitLocker encrypted in my Windows 7 (32-bit) system. Now, I'm unable to remove this encryption. How can I remove this completely drive encryption? I mean, I don't want any more of any BitLocker protection on this drive. Formatting is not an option. Waiting for an answer.

    Hello

    When you turn off BitLocker, you can either disable BitLocker temporarily or to decrypt the volume. Disable BitLocker allows TPM and other minor changes module changes the system. Decrypt the volume means that the volume will be entirely decrypted, and that all the keys are ignored. You must decrypt a computer before the operating system upgrade. Once a volume is decrypted, you must generate new keys through the encryption process again once, if you want to enable BitLocker.

     

    Before you start

    ·         You must be logged on as administrator.

    ·         The volume must be encrypted.

     

    To turn off BitLocker Drive encryption

    (a) click Start, click Control Panel, click Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    (b) from the BitLocker Drive Encryption page, find the volume on which you want BitLocker Drive Encryption goes off, and click turn off BitLocker Drive Encryption.

  • BitLocker preinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    I have BitLocker on a computer pre-installed with Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, if my TPM module has been disabled; I can see the link in the BitLocker Control Panel icon to turn on after clicking on it to turn it on, it tells me to turn on the TPM secure, restart, and follow the instructions. If I turn it on, when I click on the icon of BitLocker, it tells me that my computer is not configured with bitlocker, shows as 2 drives on the left, on the right it descriptions of the show with an 'x' next to a magnifying glass on a hard drive and the word "off" after the description. Is it the way it is supposed to look like when it will run. Because I put all perimeters to activation, the initialization and the establishment. The TPM is the correct version, group policy is set to the correct specifications, I did everything what I was instructed to do. I even let the TPM to create his or her own password. I initialized and took possession of the TPM, I turned it on, I put it to ignore blocked orders. I installed the security chip. My hard drive is narrowed, there is the extra partition specified as S:, Ok he said after doing this, I have to reinstall the software, but after reinstalling the software, it says it has deleted my second partition. I did it at least 10 times aggravating. So I used the BitLocker configuration tool to shrink the drive and create the partition. Now what I am doing wrong?

    People like you that encryption data with bitlocker do it because they want their data accessible only by those who have the certificate. The sad news for you is that you have made a good choice with BitLocker: unless you have the certificate, your data remains inaccessible. There is no backdoor. If he had then BitLocker would be useless.

  • Cannot access Windows XP stuck in reboot Mode without failure and encrypted HD loop.

    I am currently stuck in Safe Mode reboot loop. This happened after I opted to enter Safe Mode via MSconfig (box checked/SafeBoot in BOOT. INI tab). I am unable to secure through all normal boot, command, etc.

    I have already installed Recovery Console but I try to use it, I get the error "UNMPOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" on blue screen.

    I don't have a Windows XP CD, so last night I started with Knoppix successfully but can not access the Boot.ini file. I think it's because the encryption (Encryption Plus Hard Disk of GuardianEdge) provided with the laptop software. Before this has is spent, during the boot process, I get the login screen of encryption before Windows XP starts. Without this step, I can't access all the files.

    My question is this: is it possible to achieve connection encryption while that started using Knoppix?

    I'm completely locked out of my laptop. I appreciate any help you can offer.

  • How can I restore my computer encrypted bitlocker to an external hard drive for bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure?

    I backup that my bitlocker encrypted computer running vista ultimate on an attached USB harddrive external also encrypted by bitlocker.  I have the password both on a USB stick and written down.

    You can restore to normal full image (well close to normal) just using the USB Flash drive and a hard disk formatted, white (with a system partition at least as large as the partition which it replaced)- and, of course, the backup drive.  I see no reason why a bitlocker recovery will be different - after all, it's just not added encryption process (although the exact procedure may vary because you may need to supply a password to authenticate the restore function and decrypt the files as they are restored - that's why it doesn't happen on the CD).  Of course, this means that you must have done a full image backup using bitlocker (not a full backup or a file backup).

    Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Encryption BitLocker without a TPM chip

    From: ormico

    I apoligize if this question has been asked, but I do not see when I looked on the forum and elsewhere on the web.

    I have a laptop that I was thinking together Drive Encryption on during some time.

    The options I know are PGP Whole Drive Encryption, TrueCrypt and BitLocker.

    I have Vista Ultimate and BitLocker is one of the reasons for fat that was my Ultimate, but BitLocker doesn't seem to be as straightforward as some of the other options which is a mouthful.

    My laptop doesn't have a TPM chip. As I read it, that means that the use of BitLocker, I have to use a USB key to store the key.

    Before going any further down this path, I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports a USB drive pre-seed.

    In addition, the preparation of the BitLocker driver tool could not create a partition for BitLocker. I don't know why, but my first thought is that he wants to go the paging and Hibernate files and cannot. There is a long series of instructions that I found where you can "try" to get around this problem with no guarantee that it will work.

    Then... Before I try to go this route, I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions about BitLocker so I know if it's really what I want.

    In all the instructions I read about installing BitLocker without a TPM, the instructions always specify that you plug your usb key, boot the system, and Vista comes up. There is never a mention of a password. Is this correct? If so, all someone would need to have access to the laptop's USB key. It seems safe to me. If my laptop is stolen there is a good chance that the USB would be with her. I can try to take it with me when this is possible, but it is not always practical or likely. This isn't like a car key that I can stick in my Pocket whenever I get out of the car.

    Is it possible to use BitLocker without a TPM that uses a password? I know there are the recovery password, but a random code 48 digit is not easy to remember either.

    My preference would be to use BitLocker because I already bought it.

    PGP looks like a good option, but it's a few hundred dollars I think.

    TrueCrypt is free, but I'm a bit nervouse about using a free product to encrypt my entire hard drive. Maybe I shouldn't be biased, but if something goes wrong with this it will be painful recover. I've used TrueCrypt to create encrypted volumes before and works well, but it's a hassle to set up and dismantle all the time.

    De :  Steve Riley [MSFT]

    You have readiness tool error messages?

    Without a TPM, the only option for the storage of the key is a USB key. You don't need any special 'Pre-boot' USB support, because the computer is actually started from the small boot volume that creates the preparation tool. During this process, Windows prompts you to insert the USB key. Windows bed key root storage from there, used to decrypt another key and continues to load the operating system from disk encrypted system.

    While we support using a PIN _with_ a module of TPM, we do not support using a _without_ a TPM secure. This is because it is almost impossible to get the kind of taken entropy protect something as important as with a simple password for BitLocker volume master key. The password recovery don't, but as you note, it is almost impossible to remember such a long number.

    The metaphor of car keys is actually pretty good. You get a small USB key with a small loop so you can hang it to your keyring. Next, you will use this key to "start" on your computer. You can remove it once the computer finishes booting. You'll need whenever you start and whenever go out you this computer from hibernation (but not sleep).
