Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available- which was working earlier.

Hello All,
The E drive  (external USB drive) of server which was encrypted using bitlocker. earlier it was working perfectly fine. On running the BitLocker configuration screen we are getting with a message stating that ‘Your system
volume is not configured correctly to allow you to use BitLocker Drive Encryption.  Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available’
now whenever we are clicking on E drive it is showing to format the disk.
can anyone help me to understand which are the files required or repair for bitlocker?
Thanks & Regards,
MAsud Hussain

  • Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available

    Hi all,
    We are running into some issues when attempting to configure BitLocker Drive Encryption through the BitLocker UI on Windows Server 2008SP2.
    On running the BitLocker configuration screen we are presented with a message stating that
    ‘Your system volume is not configured correctly to allow you to use BitLocker Drive Encryption. 
    Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available’
    We believe this issue may have been caused during a recent hardware migration using the DoubleTake Move software as we encountered a similar issue with the Windows Backup utility not seeing any available HDDs.
    Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and aware of any potential fix?

    I think it should be supported on Windows Server 2008 as it is supported on Windows Vista.
    Can you check whether BdeHdCfg.exe is present in System32 folder. If not can you copy the BdeHdCfg.exe installer from higher version of OS and copy it to the system32 folder on Windows Server 2008 and then run the command with the administrative rights. 
    NOTE : Make sure to change the directory to %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32
    Before running the command.

  • I have both a PC (work) and my new Macbook Air. I am having issues with opening files that I have saved on my USB Flash Drive. The files are not corrupted because it works on my PC perfectly. Could someone advise how to fix the issue?

    Please help!!!

    Yes, I have the MS Office software for MAC that I bought from the Apple Store.
    This is the Error.
    Excel Cannot Open this File.
    The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
    - I created these files on my MAC, but I have worked on it on my PC. But I can't reopen it on my MAC anymore.
    Thanks All for the help.

  • Sharing Folio - Source .indd files are not available for this article

    when sharing a folio, and opening it up in indesign 5.5 all articles say:
    "Source .indd files are not available for this article"
    What is the point of sharing if you can't change articles and update them?

    Because you’re not sharing the InDesign files, you’re sharing the folio.
    Pretty similar to sharing a PDF but not the source files.
    That said, I’m working on a project with someone else and everything sits in a Dropbox folder. Only I can update the folios but my partner has access to the InDesign files.

  • I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

    Restart it.. Does this all the time with Lion and even worse ML.
    Restart the whole network if that doesn't work.. do it in correct order.. from off.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.

  • I've tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but erase options are not available.

    I tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but there's no place to click "erase."

    If you have an SSD, then the best thing you can do it enable System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault, so that any deleted files are just an encrypted jumble of bits to anyone that does not have the encryption key.
    And even if you do erase the SSD, it does not work the way you think, and retired SSD zones may have your data, and never see an erase.
    This is way keeping the SSD encrypted means retired zones are just encrypted jumble of bits.
    If you do NOT have an SSD, is it possible you are trying to erase your boot disk while you are actually using your boot disk?  Disk Utility will not allow you to do that either.

  • Drive with Offline Files folder not available for 2 minutes after being connected to the network.

    Hi
    We use Windows SP1 with one folder from the User HomeDirectory set to be available offline.
    The problem we encounter is that when going from Offline to Online via VPN, there is a 2 minutes delay for the drive where the offline folder is located to be available again. Other drives mapped at VPN connection time are available immediately
    after we applied KB2705233. Only the drive that contains the folder that we make available offline has this delay issue.
    I found out KB2663418 but it does not apply as we have Windows 7 SP1. However the symptoms are the same:
    < This issue occurs because the client-side caching (CSC) interface tries to reconnect to the source before the network is actually available. This behavior causes the SMB cache to enter a negative state. In this situation, the CSC interface tries to
    reconnect to the source on the next 2-minute retry interval.>
    Does one know how to force a check of the connectivity or if there is another fix available ?
    thanks in advance
    bruno

    Hi,
    Why KB2663418 didn't applied to your computer? It applied to
    Windows 7 Service Pack 1, when used with:
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows 7 Professional
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Did you use Windows 7 Home Basic or Home Premium?  However, Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium does not support Offline Files.
    Thus please try that hotfix.

  • "Clip's Media Files are Not Currently Available" Alert Message

    I am making an video project for school and so I put the video clips (JPEG) into my iPhoto Library and I put them together as a project. A few days later I went back to work on the project and I'm getting an alert symbol on the video clips that says "This clips media files are not currently available" when I hover over it. Does anyone know why?
    Also, I need to export the project as an AVI or MPEG file and when I click 'Export Using Quicktime' an error message pops up that says "Missing Media... The following Event used in this project is not currently available: iPhoto Videos - English Video Poetry Project - The portions of the project which reference this Event will show black frames." Is this because of the alert that says my media files are not available?
    Thank you!

    This happens if you either delete your original films or rename the event in iPhoto. If you deleted the original film, you're stuck. If you just renamed it in iPhoto, the fix is simple: quit iMovie, rename the album in iPhoto back to whatever it was (whatever it says in the error message - in your case "English Video Poetry Project") then open iMovie. It should now be ok, and while iMovie is open, you can rename your album (in iPhoto) to whatever you like.
    Note: if you rename your album, iMovie will cope but won't automatically save the change, so it will break next time you load it. To fix that, make some small change to the movie. Exporting it might work, haven't tried.
