| | guys, what does it mean when my internal sata drive (non OS) doesn't show up in Bitlocker page in Control panel? I don't have the option either when I right-click on the drive on the explorer... thanks |

| | Hello Tierix, and welcome to Seven Forums. Sorry for the late reply. Could you post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window showing all of your drive's layout? This may be able to help ID what the problem may be. If this is a dynamic disk, then that would be one reason. |

| | HI Thanks a lot for your reply. Screenshot attached. Yes it is a Dynamic disk (DRIVE F). Why Dynamic disks can't be bitlocked? Also, please, how do I change it to whatever it should be? thanks |

| | Tierix, Yes, it will need to be a Basic disk instead of a Dynamic disk to be able to use BitLocker on it. You could use OPTION FOUR in the tutorial below to convert F: (Disk 0 ) back to a Basic disk without losing the data on it. Be sure to backup the data on F: to another location before continuing just to be extra safe though. Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk Hope this helps.  |

| | ok i'll try that. I'll have to do it in a few days though, I'm in the process of backing up the whole drive to an online service and I feel like I defo should do it before trying this! thanks again |
