Bitlock windows

Post by Marc »

Hi guys, I tried to do a test run in my windows BITLOCK environment.
The backup went well.
Restoring a previous image however did not work because in the environment of the restore the disks were not accessible.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a setting that I have overlooked?

Postscript:
I tried again in the WINPE environment.
Checked the box regarding ad Bitlocker support (TBWINPE) in the tab "build options".
Installed on a USB drive and then booted the USB drive.
Same problem. The bitlocker drives were not accessible.
So yes, what am I doing wrong?

The BitLocker partition needs to either be suspended prior to booting into TBWinRE/PE or you need to manually unlock it after booting. If you use the IFW Reboot option for the restore it should automatically suspend it before rebooting.

Also, not sure what can't see drive means - you mean find the backup? Check that simple operations in setting matches the backup. Also if you saved to an encrypted drive, the drive has to be mounted to find the file.
