    I installed bitlocker and configured my d drive which has the systemrecovery  hidden partion and it got corrupted..I have an hp and the recovery partiton is now corrupted..This has happen twice everytome i install it..If you have an hp beware as this program corrupts your partition and then you will have to recover from the cd's instead of conveniently restoring from the recovery manager system recovery option or F 11 key..

    Hi,

    Don't try to lock your recovery partitions, those partitions are usually non accessible by any application but the recovery program encrypted it. BitLocker encyrpted the encrypted. So it caused damage of it.

     

    Good luck
