Hello,
When connecting new USB sticks to a laptop, our users cannot encrypt using Bitlocker. They get the error: the drive cannot be encrypted because it contains system boot information. Create a separate partition...
This issue persists after changing from FAT32 to NTFS, quick format, full format... It's happening for all USB sticks, not one specific type.
When deleting the volume and creating a new volume in diskmgmt.msc, encryption is possible without issue. However it's not possible as administrator to do this for every USB for all users in the company. What could be causing this and how could this be resolved?
Thanks in advance.
