    How many drives do you have? And do you know the implications of Bitlocker?

    I suggest looking on Microsofts site on how to use bitlocker.

    Hi,
    I think it disabled in registry,
    Open Registry
    then check the following key

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    Check DWORD value : NoDrives
    if exist make that value 0.
