I have bitlocked a drive using Windows7. Then while decrypting the drive there was power failure and it was closed without completing. My system was not booting from the next time, so due to urgency i have quick format this drive using Windows XP Computer Management.
The drive is about 130GB. Can anybody help me how to recover the data.
I happen to have reinstalled by mistake a new Windows7 OS on a drive (I had two drives one with an OS and another with a bitlocker drive used for back up, both drives were IDE drives and the bitlocker was under slave mode if that hosted very important data and was encrypted by Bitlocker. How to recover this formerly encrypted data? The drive is now recognized as an active healthy partition with an associated drive letter (different from the original one). I don't have the bitlocker key.
I bought Windows XP Ultimate and setup my computer with Bitlocker, using a USB key for the encryption key.After setting everything up and confirming it all works, I thought I would make a copy of this USB key. When I look at the USB stick using Windows Explorer or via a Dir command through a DOS prompt, I don't see any files on the USB stick.Is this normal? Is there no way to make a copy of the stick, I would have thought I would have seen files on it.
I'm having trouble getting my clients to backup the bitlocker info to AD. I've followed the Configuration Guide (we're running Win2k3R2 domain controllers) as well as the Testing steps detailed in the guide. I'm successfully able to backup TPM information, but the FVE information isn't even attempted to be backed up to AD. I've checked the GPO, and checked the registry on the client as well, and HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftFVEActiveDirectoryBackup and RequireActiveDirectoryBackup are both set to 1.
It looks like those two GPO objects are being set, but not enforced. I think that because I don't have any 513 or 514 errors in the System Event Log (for FVE anyway - I see the 514 for the TPM backup), and I did a packet capture and don't see a conversation happening between the client and any of my DC's. Also, Bitlocker successfully encrypts the volume, which I thought it shouldn't do until it successfully backed up the recovery information to AD, and it's not there (I used a regular LDAP browser as well as the add-on for AD Users & Computers and the FVE entries are nowhere to be found).
I was able to replicate this on two Windows 7 Enterprise x64 clients. I'm at a loss at this point at even where else to look for hints of what's going on.
I have Unallocated space at the very end of my hard drive, even after the 25gb Recovery Partition, this is due to copying my old hard drive onto this new one via Clonezilla, and it automatically keeping the unallocated space at the end. Can I either move the unallocated space around the Recovery Partition, or delete the Recovery Partition altogether? Sorry if I am being a little unclear.
I've gotten to the point where I need to just reinstall windows completely on my Asus G74SX (too many problems, I want to start fresh.). I encounter an error 1029 with Asus's recovery disks that I made when I had windows working: it says it is recovering all the way to 100% then doesnt work. I am in the process of trying it again so I'll see if it actually managed to wipe my hard drive like it said it was doing, and maybe if it did actually work and reinstall windows.However, I'd like to be able to get into the recovery partition because I would prefer restoring it with Asus as they recommend me to. However, when I hit F9, their target to get there, it doesn't do anything and just reloads the boot screen, with the Asus logo on it. I don't have an actual Wndows recovery CD so that's not an option, and at this point since my hard drive has likely been wiped by these recovery DVDs, I don't think going into Ubuntu and fixing the MBR will do me much good anymore.It may be worth noting that before I last restarted, I marked the Windows partition as active because of a tutorial here, making it so that recovery partition isn't active anymore.
I have encrypted a driver with bitlocker in windows 7. I need to be able to lock the drive after I have opened it. The only way i can see to do this is to restart the computer.
Does anyone know a different way of doing this. For example a right click and lock button?
I upgraded my Vista to Windows 7. Turned off Bitlocker before upgrading. When I finally had Windows 7 on my computer I tried to turn on bitlocker again. It was not possible, so I decrypted the drive. Then I tried to encrypt the drive again but on reboot I got the attached message. Windows boots normally to the desktop but the drive is not encrypted. Anyone there who knows what to do to get bitlocker working again?
I am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit,not using bitlocker, want to upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate and use Bitlocker. Can this be done without a clean install of Win 7, will I be able to keep my applications, settings and data, etc?
I have been having some issues when trying to turn Bitlocker on in C:
I have followed the instructions as per this forum to enable a Startup key in gpedit.msc as I don't have TPM which worked.
After following the instructions, Windows Bitlocker asked me to insert a USB to save the startup key to. This appeared to save and then moved onto the next step where I took down the recovery key etc. and finally restarted to make sure my system was compatible before encryption started.
Upon restart, Windows said that it couldnt find a key on the USB drive. After further investigation I found that windows did not save the key to the USB after all even checked as a hidden file. It will save the text file (recovery key) to usb but not the bek file for the startup key.
I have tried this several times but each time it wont save although the system doesn't say there has been a problem and moves on to the next stage.
The USB is a 2gb cruzer with the smart drive software removed and re-formatted to NTFS. I have also tried this on other USB drives with no luck and the USB drives work as Iam able to write other things to it?
