I've searched the web, and found no answer to this strange problem.

 

Running Dr Web from Live disk (USB). I have an (almost) fresh Windows install and three harddisks. i've tried removing other two but it did not help. As soon as the live disk Lunux page starts, I get this message (with Cureit box in the background.

 

I can see disks... four instead of three partitions on my main (C:) drive. But the folders are System Volume Information, Recovery and so on... no Windows folder.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

PS: My disks are BitLocker protected, but unlocked. Perhaps this might be interfering? But I don't get bitlocker message...

That's the point. BitLocker. As you probably know, BL encrypts your sensitive data on the volume/partition. That's why Live disk can't read it and detect your Windows properly.

You may also notice that first run of BL takes a lot of time, because BL is encrypting your data. But 'unlocking' takes only a second. Why? Just because 'unlocking' actually does NOT decrypt you data back. It just switch off some checking, but all your data remain encrypted. Windows just reads secret keys (without prompting) and decrypts your data 'on the fly'.

Ah! ... :)

At first I thought with automatic unlock on boot turned on, it might work... but indeed I wasn't thinking clearly!!!

 

Thanks Dmitry
