I am upgrading computers and will use Bitlocker on the new machine. I decrypted my system drive on the old machine that was encrypted with TC so that I can more easily transfer my old data across. TC decrypted much faster than I expected, but so far OK. However, when I put the drive into a USB enclosure, the new computer says the drive is not formatted.
Putting the drive back into the old machine and booting up, I check TC. It of course can not find an encrypted drive, nor can it decrypt the system drive.
Any hints on what I've missed or what has gone wrong?

Is a drive letter assigned to that drive? – Ĭsααc tիε βöss – 2015-01-11T08:42:16.573
There's only one drive? How did you decrypt the old drive? And immediately afterwards did it still work / boot ok? Normally, you would leave the old drive encrypted, and just mount & copy the data onto the new computer / drive, in another encrypted container or folder, to maintain security (writing the decrypted data to a hard drive would be insecure) – Xen2050 – 2015-01-13T08:15:17.287
