I have an old hard drive with Windows XP installed on it from my old computer.
I want to encrypt it using Bitlocker, but there is no option to "Encrypt this drive with Bitlocker" or "Manage Bitlocker" etc.
While trying work arounds, I have seen this error message:
"The drive cannot be encrypted because it contains system boot information. Create a seperate partition for use as the system drive that contains the boot information and a second partition for use as the operating system drive and then encrypt the operating system drive."
I tried creating a new blank partition, but that made no difference.
Is there a way to encrypt this hard drive using Bitlocker?
It was encrypted in the past using Bitlocker, but I de-crypted it because I wanted to use the newer XTS-256 encryption.
Now it's been decrypted, it seems impossible to use Bitlocker even though it was previously encrypted without any issues!
