REAGENTC.EXE: Windows RE cannot be enabled on a volume with BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled

[@arnabpramanik7614]

I am getting the same error again. I did all the steps and I allocated 1021 MB of space. During the Set Id, I used the "de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac" id because I have UEFI/GPT-based system. But, then this message popped up: "The selected volume or partition is in use. To continue with the operation use the OVERRIDE parameter." I used the OVERRIDE command to set the id, exited the diskpart, and tried to enable reagentc again, still getting the same error. What can I do? Please help. I am using Windows 11 64-bit system

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5mVq5RsqMqgj6s This video helped me fix the issue ... For windows 11 the options are lil different... Once u gave decryption it will take some time and after that it will work without issues...

[@rachitrawat3638]

were you able to fix this issue ?

[@SirishaSujan]

At timeline 3:52 you are setting id as 27. Where are you getting it from? I see you said id as 07. Confused! Could you please clarify?

[@itarmy2778]

By default id is 7, I changed it to 27 to use it at a recovery partition

[@siva-zy4eg]

@@itarmy2778 is it same for gdt type drives?

[@Kirkaiya]

As others pointed out - if your disk is GPT, then don't use id = 27, you need to use id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac and set the GPT attribute to 0x8000000000000001

[@itarmy2778]

Right

[@totoro2135]

could you please elaborate? i'm struggle with this. i typed set id=27 and it said the specified type is not in the correct format

[@sokoloft3]

Thanks. Should it be set back to what it was originally now then winre is enabled in the partition?

[@superheroherohero]

I did per this, but still cannot run reagentc /enable

[@ladyofbugs]

I'm getting "REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE image was not found." error when attempting your steps. Am I missing something?

[@pgyoutubers6568]

27 does not seems to be the correct value for RE. The following worked for me. set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001

[@pgyoutubers6568]

I just read somewhere today that 27 is where the disk is MBR. For GPT format, the other big number is the one.

[@bibhuprasadtulo5964]

It's also not working

[@bibhuprasadtulo5964]

It's in use, use override parameter

[@alfonsorojas5463]

Thank you man this was starting to look like a nightmare to do but you made it super easy!

[@itarmy2778]

Glad I could help

[@karatejoe5049]

Is the point that if you give a partition an ID of 27, reagent will find it?

[@cjt2020]

Thanks for the great info- solved my problem (I had the wrong type on the recovery partition). And no thanks to Microsoft for a thoroughly misleading error message!

[@neilbrittain6154]

I was still getting the bitlocker issue, but found a fix for my issue: I deleted the recovery partition and created it again. With it still empty I bitlockered it, then immediately removed bitlocker. This seems to have cleared the bitlocker flag against that partition. I then set up the recovery partition as per remaining instructions and reagentc /enable now worked.

[@goncalroch-colom9364]

This is worked for me after trying absolutely everything else to no avail. Thank you!

[@o_j_edits]

how did you set the bitlocker and remove it?

[@LencoTB]

Isn't it enough to just Disable Bitlocker?

[@juggernauts9880]

I had the same problem when trying to enable Windows RE. Unfortunately, the suggested method here did not work (deleted recovery partition and created a new one). I finally solved the issue by turning off Device encryption (from Privacy & Security -> Device encryption). Afterwards, I could enable Windows RE using REAGENTC /enable (at cmd window). Or you can try PowerShell Commands: Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint "". For example : Disable-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" Thank you.

[@Saikat_Mukherjee]

But it's giving an error saying "BitLocker drive encryption cannot be turned off on the operating system drive"

it didn't work for me. they showed my partition type is ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7 i typed set id=27, they showed "The specified type is not in the correct format. For more information on the command type: HELP SET" then i exited and typed reagentc /enable, and they again showed RE cannot be emable on a volume with bitlocker

[@770tim]

Hi @o_j_edits, I hope you were able to resolve the issue, but if not, user @Kirkaiya has pointed out the solution for this. For your information, this is because your system is using a style of partition called GUID Partition Table or GPT and in the video, IT Army has a style of partition called the Master Boot Record or MRB. SOLUTION: In your case you can create the partition using disk manager as shown in the video. and then as shown run diskpart: Select the current drive you want the RE partition to be on. >sel part >set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac >gpt attributes 0x8000000000000001 it should already be formatted as NTFS if you used the wizard to create the partition, if not you can use this: >format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"

Why i can't set id to 27 bro

[@itarmy2778]

Your disk partition style is MBR or GPT?

[@IjajulMansuri-bm5yy]

Gpt

[@admiral7192]

With all respect your method does not solve the issue. This problem is happen when installing new system on old system partition without format and repartitions the whole disk. You need to remove the bitlocker deception then format or delete the old recovery partition and create new one if necessary.

Can u make video on how to disable $MFT files to shrink volume

[@crux7534]

Did you find solution

[@omkaryadav8623]

@@crux7534 no

[@alienJIZ1990]

Never seen this request before and you can't disable the Master File Table. If your MFT is bloated, I suspect what you're asking for is to "Defrag the MFT" and then "Compact the MFT" - I know Paragon HDM has these wizards offhand but I'm sure Acronis, Macrium, etc. do as well. Afaik, Windows can't do that natively
