    Bitlocker - detect encrypted external disk ?


    Hello,

    We would like to use Bitlocker to encrypt external devices. However, we do already have some external hard disks with built-in encryption. Is it possible to detect this, and not to re-encrypt those disks with Bitlocker ?

    Thanks,

    Soitjes.
