I was encrypting my 1T external WD hard drive with bit locker while power failed and now when I try to open my drive it says the drive is not ready despite I have the password and key, I never used any method or software I think software is any one know a solid solution to recover my data. and is the data recovery specialist can do it in the data recovery center.?
View 1 RepliesI just purchased a Dell Ultrabook that came with Window 8. I went to the Windows store and did the upgrade to 8.1. I've read a number of articles saying that encryption is turned on by default on a clean install of 8.1 but not necessarily on an upgrade. From some of the articles I've read, I should be able to see whether my device is encrypted on the PC Info page (see attached). I do not believe it is encrypted but I don't know for sure.
I've always used TrueCrypt on my previous devices but won't bother if my new device is already encrypted.
My issue first originates with going through the windows 8.1 store app to upgrade windows 8 -> to windows 8.1.
"turn off bitlocker because it isn't supported in the edition of windows you want to install"
I am not sure whether i encrypted the drives after installing windows 8 or in windows 7, nevertheless i do know the encryption passwords to the drives. The biggest problem is therefore trying to remove/disable the encryption to upgrade.
The Applet in the control panel is missing for some reason. I have seen some guides which rely on this applet which is usually situated between auto play and colour management.
I would like to remove/disable the encryption for the upgrade, or confirm the idea that if i disconnect the two drives that are encrypted i could upgrade the OS to 8.1 and wouldn't need to worry about the encryption. The concern is that the 8.1 OS would not read the drives hence the upgrading message.
My specs are this , related to Bitlocker:
Windows 8 64bit - standard (non-enterprise, pro)Hard drives:1 X 128GB SSD - C:/ windows installed here ** NOT ENCRYPTED **1 X 2TB HDD - D:/ + E:/ **ENCRYPTED**1 X 3TB HDD - F:/ **ENCRYPTED**
I'm seeking full-disk encryption software. I want to encrypt the volume that my Windows installation is on.
First of all, does Bitlocker come on the home edition of Windows 8.1? I recall on previous versions it was only available in the Pro editions.
However, I would prefer to use an open-source disk encryption solution. I've searched but I have not found any that can encryption the Windows installation volume, the ones I found (such as TrueCrypt) can only set up additional encrypted partitions which is no good for me.
Recently upgraded to Windows OS 8.1 Pro and cannot encrypt my HP external hard drive. Encryption pauses and states that disk has errors and please run chkdsk. Ran chkdsk and no errors found. Had no difficulty encrypting the C drive with the OS.
View 5 Replies View Relatedtoday i came home to my alienware x51 in some dell system recovery screen, i asked my kid what happened today she said the lights flickered several times, during a freak storm, So my pc must have tried to auto start several times, this is not good at all, i'm so lucky no damage was done at least so far. But how do i stop this behavior from happening again is there a setting i can turn off, so if we have another light flicker or loss of power that it never does it again. I just hope in the long run that my computer is not damaged who knows how many times it tried to reboot.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had about 5 crashes in the last month. Below are 2 of them from the whocrashed report. I tried googling this issue, but most of what I found is specific to a driver. My whocrashed report does not mention a specific driver. This is a Dell XPS 13 which I bought only about a month ago. Also, I should mention that in Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation next to "Generic PnP monitor" and when I click properties, under device status it says:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
{Unable to Load Device Driver}
%hs device driver could not be loaded.
Error Status was 0x%x"
I do not use an external monitor, so I'm guessing it's referring to my laptop screen. Not sure if this is relevant to the crashes or not.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got my ASUS G750 from Bestbuy a few weeks ago. I've been encountering this same BSOD since I got it (after installing programs). Lately it seems to be happening when I close a game from the battle.net app and attempt to open another. Other than that it almost seems to happen completely at random.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently got a BSOD before this BSOD the BSOD happened yesterday was kernel_data_input_error and I think I have fixed it? but the computer is still a little slow, and I noticed my Disk usage is most of the time at 100% then the apps(Browsers,task managers etc2) doesn't respond and now This BSOD Driver Power State Failure happened. I read that it's about an incompatible driver, but I don't know how to detect an incompatible driver because I refreshed windows 8.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter having to do a complete system restore (automatic repair loop) my computer now comes up with the Driver Power State Failure BSOD when restarting, shutting down and turning on normally works fine.
I don't really want to try and navigate through all the windows updates as that requires a lot of restarting, and usually some sort of software conflict means it all gets put back anyway.
As far as I can remember, the 47015-01.dmp and 41125-01.dmp occurred 8 hours earlier than the file creation time, as my time zone was set to UTC-8, and i'm on GMT.
I just recently got a BSOD on my laptop DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I'm also guessing this is the reason that my computer seems to not sleep consistently.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAtleast once a day i get the BSOD. Usually It will crash while im playing a game. I have attached an SFdebugfiles zip.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDid a clean install of Windows 8.1 - I previously had Windows 7. I have already had 4 'Driver Power State Failure' BSODs. I have attached the files from the SF Diagnostic tool.
NB: This is a custom built PC with an Asus P8H61-M LX3 Plus R2.0 mobo.
I am experiencing a severe problem with my laptop, a pretty new ASUS S550CB. It started two weeks ago and I really cannot figure out what is the cause. The problem is that the laptop is no longer unable to wake up from sleep or hybernation modes. If it goes to sleep, after it wakes up it is able to show the login screen (sometimes) but when you're typing the password it freezes and after a while, a blue screen saying that the computer stopped working due to a Driver Power State Failure is shown. A minidump is saved and the computer is restarted. The whole operation takes a looong time. I also notice that boot times are much longer even when waking up from power off state.
From an initial investigation, the problem seemed to sit in iaStorA.sys (Intel Rapid Start Technology driver) not handing power modes correctly. So I tried to upgrade it to the latest version, and no luck. I tried to uninstall it, and uninstall also the ExpressCache software that the laptop came with, but no luck.
I then installed again first IRST latest driver, no luck. I then added ExpressCache on top of it (as stated in ExpressCache install instructions), no luck.
I do not have a recovery point saved before the problem started to happen (aroud 18 feb). I have tried to uninstall all windows updates received from 15 feb onwards but guess what? No luck as well.
The laptop all of a sudden became almost unusable, sleep and hybernation no longer work at all, and the SDD and IRST were a main driver in my choice of buying ASUS S550CB.
I attach to this post the outcome of SF Diagnostic Tool run today.
I'm having this problem right after installing Windows 8 update.
previously i just roll back update, but it still update automatically.
So Since upgrading to windows 8 pro about 2 weeks ago, My computer seems to BSOD with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I attached the pulled from the "SF Diagnostic Tool". and attached them to the thread.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a ASUS G750jm laptop. in the past 30 days of receiving it it has BSOD six times.
Five have been caused by a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE and the most recent was
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. I have tried researching and calling in to ASUS.
I have been experiencing a BSOD after I attempt a restart (with the restart option) the computer but not when I shutdown and manually restart.
I also just had my first Kernel Data Inpage Error BSOD today when I woke up my computer from sleep.
My operating system is currently Windows 8.1 Pro x64
issue with my laptop where I can't allow it to enter sleep mode or else it will restart/appear to have restarted the next time I wake it up. At first I thought it might be a power options issue, but I made sure that the computer was set to sleep and not restart when I close the lid. I've checked the bluescreen viewer and the cause of the restart seems to come from a driver power state failure coming from ntoskrnl.exe+1fcc1e, hal.dll+6a37, and storport.sys+33f0.
I've already run sfc/scannow to check for damaged files and I was also able to replace them using a DISM command, so now scanning the computer doesn't run into any errors, but this driver error still persists.
Sidenote: The driver errors mainly started after I reinstalled Kaspersky onto my computer to fix some issues that I had with it. Before that I was getting a couple of kernel data inpage errors, the latest of which occurred June 1.
Every time I wake up my Lenovo U310 Touch from Sleep it freezes and then blue screen error :
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
I have attached my files from SF diagnostic tool.
I've been getting persistent BSOD's when attempting to wake up my computer (Lenovo Twist u230) from sleep. I am also sporadically getting Kernal Data Inpage Error BSOD while using my computer.
My machine is Windows 8, installed from factory with a recent refresh done. SFC /SCANNOW and DISM both come up clean. All of my hardware diagnostics are also clean.
Ever since I've built this computer and installing the latest drivers, I've run into a problem where the computer BSODs with a "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" error, and it happens whenever it's been off or in sleep mode for a long time. I've tried looking up solutions and most say that a bad driver is the issue, but the device manager doesn't show me any problems.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBSOD occurring every few hours, seemingly at random. It doesn't seem to matter whether the computer is idling or whether I am running a lot of applications.
I haven't been able to find anything (for example, no issues appear under Device Manager).
Windows 8.1, 64-bit, running two nvidia cards in sli (would not be surprised if the issue is related to either/both graphic cards). I will attach the SF diagnostic file.
this laptop is freezing - requiring a hard reboot - every week or two and I can't seem to determine from the logs where to look.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI sometimes get "Driver Power State Failure" after logging into Windows 8 (not 8.1).
I believe it is my Sierra Wireless 760S Aircard 4G modem causing the issue but I'm not entirely sure, and sometimes it doesn't detect it until I unplug and reconnect the usb cable after booting.
My machine is breaking down here.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBSOD error. I've read through some posts with similar errors and I've done my best to try some of the basic solutions for this (i.e., update drivers) but can't seem to pin down the actual problem.
I woke up this morning and I had a Driver Power State Failure message on my computer. I've spent all day trying to get it fixed and I'm about to throw this 3 month old laptop through the window (I'm running a Lenovo Y510P with Windows 8.1).
In addition to the BSOD when I try to shut down my computer it never actually shuts down. The screen will go black for about 5 minutes but the light on the power button stays on and the computer starts back up again on its own. However it never actually gets to the desktop. The circle of dots just keeps going and going and after I force it to shut down twice the Automatic Repair kicks in but it says it couldn't fix the issue. When I enter the advanced options and do a system restore I can finally get to the desktop. When I try doing a system restore from the desktop it will get to the end and I get an error message saying it didn't work.
When I get to the desktop some things just don't work right. Right click on a folder, clicking on the file explorer pinned to the taskbar, etc. locks explorer up for a minute then nothing happens.
I've also ran SFC and a it said some files were corrupt and couldn't be repaired. Attached are my log files.
frequently getting a BSOD at sporadic intervals with 'Driver power state failure' irrespective of battery / plugged in and irrespective of what program is running. SF Diagnostic files are attached.
