FVE_E_VOLUME_BOUND_ALREADY

FVE_E_VOLUME_BOUND_ALREADY means the specified data drive already has an auto-unlock association on the current device. Auto-unlock is local to that computer and does not travel with the disk.

What to check

  • Confirm that the target is the intended data volume and that it is already BitLocker protected.
  • Check the current auto-unlock configuration before adding or changing key protectors.
  • Keep a separate recovery method; automatic unlock is not a replacement for recovery material.
