    Bitlocker Protected Drive question


    Hi,

    I hope I'm on the right section of this forum.

    Yesterday, I installed windows 7 on a bitlocker protected drive. At first, when I tried to install, it asked me for a passkey, but my colleague suddenly press something in the keyboard and the installation continued.

    Now, the owner want back the original set up for his laptop. Is there anyway to revert back or recover the old partition? btw, the laptop is in a different domain previously. Now, since I reimaged it, I also put it in our domain.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum abanyaga.

    I know little about Bitlocker but I did find a couple tutorials that might help you. Read them a couple of times.

    Thanks Layback Bear. As I've read, base on that topic that I could no longer retrieve the encrypted partition.
