Bitlocker prevents accessing SD cards
I have Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 546. It came with a factory installed multifunction card reader. All the other card slots work okay, but for nearly a year now I can't read SD cards.
The problem started arbitrarily, obviously Home Premium is not supposed to be using Bitlocker. I haven't tried to use an encrypted drive, or enable bitlocker.
Any SD card that is inserted shows a volume with an error message to insert a disk. Checking event properties shows:
Encrypted volume check: Volume information on K: cannot be read.
ErrorCode
0xc00000a
Source: Bitlocker-Driver
EventID: 24620
I've tried making sure the Bitlocker service (BDESVC) is disabled, restarted, tried different cards; all with the same result. I can only read them in a device hooked up by a USB cable.
