i have my D and E (non OS drives) encrypted with bitlocker in windows 7.it uses password to unlock drives.OS is in C drive.now i am going to install windows 8.
I am gonna do a clean installation means completely formatting C drive. the data i am worried about is in encrypted D and E drives by bitlocker.so do i have to decrypt the D and E drives first.im worried cuz bitlocker is a program of windows 7 and when i format C drive means windows 7 gone means windows 7 had the bitlocker program which encrypted the D and E drives and now its windows 8 installed in C drive .so how would windows 8 respond or know what my password was when it was created in windows 7
P.S I dont wanna decrypt drives because it takes hell of a time but i also dont wannna risk losing my data...!!!
