The Drive Where Windows Is Installed Is Locked. Choose the hard drive where you have installed your Windows. There may be errors in your system drive that causes your locked drive error.
Type bootrec /fixboot and press Enter. One advice is then when the disk is locked after a Windows update, is just to wait for the problem to resolve itself. When I am tried to reset, it says The Drive where windows installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again.
I installed a Crucial SSD on it when I first bought it and installed I've also tried refreshing/restoring option, but both times it says that my drive is locked.
What is this 'locked' drive, anyway?
Hit Cancel on the error message. Type bootrec /fixboot and press Enter. Hi, I have this same problem of the drive being locked and using a satta hdd docking station have been able to access Volume F anf G but not E where windows is.
