Restore from backup saved to Bitlocker encrypted drive - richlux - 07-13-2025
I store my backup images on a portable drive that is encrypted with Bitlocker. When I boot from the emergency disk to do a restore, Hasleo doesn't see anything on the portable drive. I assume this is because the drive is a Bitlocker encrypted drive. Is there anyway for Hasleo to prompt for the password, so I can restore from the drive?
Thanks,
Rich

Please click “Tools” => “Unlock BitLocker drive” to unlock the drive and then perform the restore operation.

Hasleo WinPE environments don’t support BitLocker decryption by default. You’ll likely need to either decrypt the drive beforehand or mount it manually in a Windows environment where BitLocker is supported.

You are incorrect, the Hasleo WinPE environment supports unlocking BitLocker encrypted drives.
