Hello as I said in a thread ages ago I was having problems. I got a usb stick and made it into a win 10 installer but when I try to install I get my partitions and my main partition is bit locked and i cannot deactivate the bitlocker. So when I try to repair my pc from the stick it goes enter you bitlocker thing and when i do it says error 80004001. Any help?
Solution
It seems like you are encountering difficulties with BitLocker on your main partition during a Windows 10 installation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
Method 1: Disable BitLocker from WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)
- Boot from your Windows 10 installation USB.
- Proceed with the installation until you reach the "Choose an option" screen. Here, select "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt."
- In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
ReplaceCode:
cmd manage-bde -unlock C: -RecoveryPassword YOUR_RECOVERY_PASSWORDYOUR_RECOVERY_PASSWORDwith your actual 48-digit recovery password. - Once the drive is unlocked, run this command to disable BitLocker...

Method 2: Clean Install Windows 10
If you are unable to disable BitLocker, you might need to consider performing a clean installation of Windows 10. - Boot from your Windows 10 installation USB.
- Proceed with the installation until you reach the "Upgrade" or "Custom" installation screen.
- At the partition selection step, delete the BitLocker-protected partition and create a new one for the Windows 10 installation.
- Complete the installation process to set up a fresh copy of Windows 10. If you still encounter issues, you might need to seek assistance from Microsoft Technical Support or a professional to help you resolve the BitLocker-related problem during the Windows 10 installation.
