STATUS_FVE_NOT_DATA_VOLUME
BitLocker distinguishes operating-system volumes from data volumes because their unlock methods, boot-time requirements, and policy settings are different. This status therefore describes a role mismatch, not the absence of encryption or a damaged volume.
Use the volume type reported by BitLocker rather than the drive letter alone. A mounted recovery or system partition can look like an ordinary volume in a maintenance environment but does not become a data volume merely because it has a temporary letter.
Select the command or policy branch intended for the detected drive role. The reciprocal error, STATUS_FVE_NOT_OS_VOLUME, is raised when an operating-system-volume operation is applied to another kind of volume.
