FVE_E_BAD_PARTITION_SIZE

FVE_E_BAD_PARTITION_SIZE indicates a mismatch between the file system and the partition size recorded in the partition table. This can signal corruption, a failed resize, or an unsafe disk layout.

What to do first

  • Protect the data and investigate the disk layout before enabling encryption.
  • Check for prior partition-resize, cloning, or storage errors that could explain the mismatch.
  • Use an approved disk-repair or migration procedure; do not treat BitLocker as a repair tool for partition metadata.
