STATUS_FVE_BAD_DATA
What this BitLocker status means
The immediate problem is malformed data presented to the FVE control engine. It differs from STATUS_FVE_BAD_INFORMATION, which concerns invalid control information already associated with an encrypted volume.
State to verify
Capture the command, API method, serialized input, and caller context that produced the status. In managed deployments, verify the policy payload and the mapping from inventory data to the selected volume before treating the disk itself as corrupt.
Recovery and confirmation
Retry only after the input has been rebuilt or validated. Reformatting, rotating keys, or clearing a TPM does not repair a malformed management request.
