I have a PC with an SSD encrypted with BitLocker, I forgot the Admin password, and lost my BitLocker recovery key. I decided to reinstall Windows and wipe the SSD, but the Windows installer couldn’t find my disk on the list, so I used diskpart
, following an article:
diskpart list disk select disk 0 clean
- After
clean
, I didn’t execute the last command to create a new partition; when I closed Cmd and booted the installer, my disk does not appear during the wipe step or indiskpart
[list disk
]
It is an SSD drive, the PC is a Lenovo Ideapad 3. Unfortunately the PC does not detect it in Windows setup. I want to avoid removing the drive to plug it to a SSD rack and connect it to another PC.
