Bitlocker combined with unusual formatting issues
Bitlocker combined with unusual formatting issues
. The HDD was encrypted with BitLocker, and the process was just a quick format. After that, I was able to recover all my data using "Get Data Back" and moved everything to an external disk. But then things got tricky—once I transferred everything back to the original HDD, everything worked fine again. I checked many files to see if they would open properly. Then I restarted the laptop, and the first thing I noticed was that opening the secondary HDD required inserting the BitLocker key, after which the drive appeared empty... Why? How did this happen? Did BitLocker interfere with me? Regards
