Bitlocker drive disappeared and cannot be accessed.

Hi everyone, I am using an INTEL 80 GB SSD as an external hard disk. However, after I bitlocker the drive, it still works fine. But, few days later, I can't access the drive at all. In file explorer, the disk drive and unlock option didn't will not appear
at all.
In Disk Management, it shows like this
I don't mind if the data is gone. I just want the disk to work again. Can anyone help?

Yes. The actual disk size is 80GB, but in disk management it only shows 7MB
How about uninstall its driver in Device Manager, have you tried yet? In addition, please check its status in BIOS if it works normal.

  • HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

    Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

    It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
    You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
    Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

    The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

    It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
    I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

    edit: If you go to the Firebug forums, you'll see this is now a known problem. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4012 for the issue tracker.

  • I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

    I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

    iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
    However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

  • Hard drive disappears and Disk Utility is not finding it

    I woke my computer up from sleep this morning, launched Final Cut Pro and it threw me an error. It said there was a permissions error for one of the volumes FCP was using, then my hard drive disappeared.
    It does not show up in Disk Utility, nor does it appear in System Profiler.
    I took the SATA drive out of my Mac Pro and tried to mount it using an external SATA to USB dock. It spins and sounds ok, but still won't mount.
    Anything I can do to revive this drive?

    all of this pretty clearly indicates that the drive is dead. get a new one.

  • Hard drive damaged and cannot be repaired

    I have had a few weird issues with my early 2011 macbook pro 13 inch, updated fully. All of this started after ML. Sometimes, when I power it up there will be a pause and then the signin screen will appear. If I sign in then, the apple logo and the spinning wheel beneath it will appear as usual, however, it will never login, it will just remain that way indefinitely. Also, sometimes when I shutdown, the grey wheel will appear for about 15 seconds and then the computer will shutdown. Therefore, I decided to do a reinstall of Mountain Lion. It took about 3.5 hours and finally it gave a warning message saying, "installation failed, the hard disk is damaged and cannot be repaired. Restart to try again." I restarted and the same thing accured at startup, same message.
    When I restarted in disk utility, the Machintosh HD was not available. When I used disk utility application, the verification said, "disk is damaged, click repair disk", but that option is greyed out. I reset PRAM and nothing changed. My verification is still returning errors and 'damaged disk" but not way to click 'repair'.
    Also, for most of the time I have had my laptop, moving slightly or lightly bumping the lower, righthand corner of the body makes a clicking noise, almost like sticking a stick into a moving fanblade, but not very loud. This does not occur now as much as it used to though.
    Is there anything I can do short of replacing my HDD, although I would be interested in upgrading to an SSD at some point.
    Thanks!

    It's very unlikely you'll be able to fix that without erasing the drive.
    Do you have backups?

    There's a very small chance you can start from the Recovery HD and repair the disk from there.  It's probably worth a try.  See the yellow box in #6 of Using Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't help, see the pink box there.  If you want to try DiskWarrior, you'll need to borrow a working Mac to download it and put it on a DVD or disk partition.
    Otherwise, your only choice is to erase and reformat it, then download a fresh version of OSX (although it sounds like it may be failing -- the clicking noise).  You do that from the Recovery HD, too; see the yellow box in #1 of Using Disk Utility.

  • ITunes library disappeared and cannot reinstall from Time Machine

    I have searched all support threads for my problem -- updated to Mavericks and all my playlists disappeared and audio files that the new itunes didn't seem to know what to do with (meditation i.e.) I've tried to reinstall from Time Machine, but all support threads refer to itunes library and folder which I don't have anymore. I drag it to the desktop and tried to reload from there. I tried to do it directly from TM but get the error message that says something about a file instead of a folder.

  • External hard drive disappeared and doesn't mount

    Hi all,
    we're using a MacMini Server at work. As backup we use an external drive and Time Machine. It has been working nicely so far. However, two days ago the external drive just disappeared. It neither shows up on the desktop nor in finder or - and that's really strange - in Disk Utility. We tried all USB ports on the Mac - nothing. We connected the hard disk to four Windows computer and it worked fine (we couldn't access it as it's a different file system but it recognized a hard drive being connected).
    Other USB devices work fine on the Mac. Keyboard, mouse, no problem. Just the hard disk and, that's also strange, all other USB storages also don't work. We have a USB card reader for SD cards. The card reader seems to work (the light is on), but the SD card isn't recognized. We also tried two memory sticks in all slots - they don't show up. Neither in disk utility nor in the finder.
    Has anyone of you came across this issue?

    had a similar problem with a SanDisk multi card reader,.. no idea why, just flakey.
    - also check the CAPACITY of your cards, some card readers can only READ a card to a maximum of 'X' eg 8GB card, thus if you put eg a 16GB card in, they crash out..

  • Bitlocker drive recovery and formatted

    Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7. 
    few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
    i remember unlock password & recover password
    how can i recover my data??????
    someone help me please.

    Hello., I
    tried all recovery
    programs but were unable
    to retrieve something.
    Because Bitlocker information
    is encoded
    And as stated before:
    Your only possible solution is a commercial or third party disk recovery program or service.
    There is nothing in Windows to recover data from a formatted hard drive.
    If you comprehend English, then you can comprehend the solution given above and that from Vladimir Bundalo!

  • Music is now classified as Other on Ipod and cannot be accessed

    Hi, something weird just happening. My Ipod was plugged in, and then the computer gave me the "This USB device could be faster" message I get when I plug it in.
    Then I realize "_'s Ipod" is now in all caps. Then I look at my music, and nothing is there. I look at the main menu, and while the music is a 0, the OTHER is at 12 gigs, coincidentally the size of my music collection.
    Is there any way I can get it back to being music?

    Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? Windows confuses iPod with network drive and songs may seem to disappear
    Failing that, try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
