Issue with Bitlocker Encryption

Question

Am trying to use Bitlocker on my OS C drive SSD without a TPM being activated (i.e. password and USB stick). So I encrypted a backup SSD OS drive (clone) and made sure it worked. Then, went back to using my old unencrypted drive. I accessed the bitlocker'd OS drive as a D drive just to copy some files over to it, after unencrypting it of course. I later tried to boot from the encrypted drive, and after using my bitlocker password, got a blue screen of death, first with some .efi file error and then with some 0xc000000e error.

So, I won't be using Bitlocker, and I'll be flagging it as a trojan on the virustotal sites. Does Microsoft have plans to fix it?

Hi JeffreyKatz-9147,

You have probably removed the master boot record or changed the drive settings preventing it from being bootable. You should be able to restore bootability by using the fdisk cmdlet.
