I understand, thanks, the odd thing was they were separate, so I guess it shouldn't have happened really, oh well :)

That sounds like a great idea in theory, if Microsoft enforced the recovery key to be uploaded to the account, obviously usb drives can go missing and such, I'm still a little in the dark though, why...

My drives were optional to turn bitlocker on, I did try all the manage-bde options, they just didn't work, I suppose for me it's the realisation that it's not an isolation thing, any secondary hard...

Thanks for the reply, I probably didn't explain it properly, I had two hard drives in a laptop, the mSata was the primary hard drive, with the boot, and the sshd hard drive was used for storage, that...

I actually, reformatted the mSata and put a fresh copy on it, I was just curious as it seemed a an odd thing for bitlocker to do, I assume there exists some cross over between the primary hard drive...

Can someone explain why on a laptop if the secondary hard drive is using bitlocker it would also bitlock the primary mSata hard drive, that makes no sense to me,

I assumed only one hard drive...
