RE: Re-enabling Bitlocker

If you have not changed your partitioning scheme since you unencrypted the
drive it is probalby just a matter of no contiguous disk space. I ran into
the same thing. To solve it I defragmented the drive (righ-click the drive,
select properties, click tools) and deleted a few files I did not need any
more. BitLocker hogs a lot of disk space when it first encrypts, and it does
not seem very elegant about selecting it across randomly spaced free space.

How come you decrypted the drive anyway?
