I enabled the bitlocker and now I can't use DaRT toolkit that was in C:\recovery folder as boot.wim file, any idea why? It is on same partition as windows, I press F8 i get prompted for recovery password, I enter it and it won't present me the "repair
your computer'

Hi George Fr,
Thanks for the post!
Check this Release Note here:

File Restore cannot unlock volumes encrypted by BitLocker
File Restore cannot access or restore files from a BitLocker encrypted volume unless you unlock the volume during Windows RE startup.
Workaround: To restore files from a BitLocker volume that is recognized by the operating system, enter a valid BitLocker recovery key and unlock the volume during Windows RE startup.
Regards,
Miya

there is no refrenece there to what happens to DaRT during the encryption.
If i hit F8 i get prompted to enter the recovery key, once I enter i do not see the DaRT (repair your computer) as I stated before, is there a specific partition layout for this?
