I did some testing on a Windows machine and tried out for the first time… I'm shocked. This thing is black magic.

How did they manage to do full disk encryption that can be toggled on/off instantly? I was expecting it to rewrite the whole drive, like what would happen with LUKS on Linux OSes/utils, but no: even a whole existing C:\ drive with Win installed, you just enable encryption, it reboots in seconds instead of minutes/hours, and it's done.

What sorcery is this?!

Wait you can use a encrypted drive on ? What is this magic? I was already prepared for so many hoops and pain, but no. Just plug-and-play on .

    @AAKL this is old news and is solved by requiring a pre-boot #Bitlocker PIN

    Wie sichere ich eine mit verschlüsselte Platte?

    Ich kann mich nicht anmelden und es deaktivieren.
    Ist nicht mein Gerät.

    weigert sich, siehe Bild.

    vielleicht?

    Oder ist das ein Problem und ein eventueller Restore würde nicht booten?

    @byteborg@chaos.social avatar

    @schenklklopfer eine 1:1 Kopie könnte funktionieren. Die Geometrie des Filesystems ist halt unveränderlich, wenn du nur den verschlüsselten Klotz hast. Hast du Zugriff auf den Wiederherstellungsschlüssel?

    How the duck does this make sense?

    I've never told it to encrypt my sith, for fox sake! 🤬

    It's not even obvious whether or not it's actually encrypted - Schrödingers BitLocker, or what?!

    Dual-booting back into my daily driver Linux; GParted tells me its not NTFS anymore.

    ...🧵 "manage-bde.exe -off <drive letter>" seems to do something - there's a bunch of activity on the storage now. #BitLocker

    ...🧵 Where does this most annoying of operating systems (not counting TempleOS here) even store the keys?!?

    Shouldn't I, the User, the owner of the data, know a little detail like this?!

    It's MY FSCKING DATA, for fox sake! I WANT to access it how ever i see fit! 🤬

    As far as i'm concerned, #Windows10 has become a crypto Trojan #Malware. As i said before - i've NEVER instructed Windows to #BitLocker encrypt my files!

    platymew,
    @platymew@layer8.space avatar

    ...🧵 all right, #BitLocker seems to have finished un-BitLocker-ing itself.

    #Windows Disk Management reports plain old NTFS. And there are no friggen BitLocker icons on my drives in file Explorer.

    I should be able to mount those under #Linux, again. dual-boots back into Linux daily driver

    …🧵 IT WÖRKS, it figgen wörks! 😃 👍

    I can mount the bloody thing, ACCESS my files - it's back to plain ole again!

    So "manage-bde.exe -off <drive letter>" is what un-BitLocker-ifies a volume. makes a mental note

    …however, NOW, I'd like to FSCKING KNOW how i ended up in this MESS!🤣

    …anyone?

    All i did, i've transplanted the SSD into my new Mini PC, made sure all the IOMMU/VM settings, the boot dev priorities checked out …and sent it. 😅

    …migration teething pains?

    I'm starting to think that I'd rather give the NSA a backdoor into my whole computer than have to enter a BitLocker recovery key one more fucking time.

    #encryption #windows #bitlocker

    schizanon,
    @schizanon@mas.to avatar

    So now my PC boots up to the #BitLocker recovery screen every fucking time. I'm not changing anything about the PCI config.

    The other issue is that when I boot with my #SteamVR #valveIndex plugged into #DisplayPort my monitor is blank until I unplug the headset. 😩

    Changing monitors has never triggered a BitLocker recovery before. Is this some new hell thanks to the BIOS update!?

    Getting real sick of your shit #AMD/#Windows

    BakaDalek,

    @schizanon #Bitlocker showing up every reboot is often a sign of a failing/bad TPM

    I would check windows settings for your "security processor" to see if it shows up or if it shows missing

    If your PC never had one (you mentioned #AMD ) its possible you had firmware TPM, check your bios settings for fTPM and make sure the setting didnt turn off (if it shows missing in windows that is)

    Some recommendations :nkoWave:

    Fun new I've been getting on my / PC.

    It reoccurs a couple times and then stops.

    schizanon,
    @schizanon@mas.to avatar

    What the fuck man, why is my boot drive suddenly hosed now!? All I did was connect a new wire from my PSU to my GPU and reinstall the GPU drivers. I had to fuck around with #Bitlocker when I disconnected the GPU but it's not asking for my recovery code anymore...

    schizanon,
    @schizanon@mas.to avatar

    BIOS update went off without a hitch!

    Except I had to disable the firmware trusted computing module and reenter my Bitlocker key because I just had to install a real TCM

    I really like 's feature. Makes BIOS updates a breeze!

    Just a friendly reminder to always back up your BitLocker recovery key. You never know when you’re going to need it.😅
