Is this a scene from Drive?

Thanks, I'll try that!

It might be easier to just find another windows device to do the job tho

Yeah, I think that's what I'll need to do. I found a guide here detailing how to decrypt a bitlocker encrypted drive, I'll give that a go when I'm able to borrow a windows machine

Also, if you dont wanna install gparted

I want to, but the steam deck isn't having it. It's arch based, so need to use pacman, but that just gives an error when I try

Having a look around on that link, when I try to download DART, I'm asked to log in with a work or school account, personal ones aren't allowed. It also sounds like it needs a subscription. So, not sure if this will work for me, or if I just clicked the wrong thing.

I did find an article here that details how to decrypt a drive that's been encrypted with bitlocker, do you think that would work?

Is the disk encrypted? If so, do you have the key?

I believe it is encrypted, but I was able to get the key from my Microsoft account

you may need to make a DART disk + computer + encryption key to get at your data

I'll have to have a proper look into that, I've never done anything like that before. Thank you for the suggestion!

Ok, there's an entry in my Microsoft account for bitlocker for my laptop, and I can see the recovery key. How do I use it to decrypt the drive though?

gparted isn't preinstalled, unfortunately. But when I use the command lsusb, I do see an entry for NVME adapter so it is recognising it

I don't know if it was encrypted. I don't think I set it to be, does windows do it automatically?

Do you have the recovery key for your drive?

Where would I find that? It's the drive that came with the laptop

I don't think I turned on encryption, unless it's on by default in windows 10?

Where did you expect it to pop up

I expected it to show up under external devices on the steam deck

does the same work with other drives or usb sticks?

Unfortunately I don't have any others that I can try with

What type of SSD was in your laptop?

It's a 1T M.2 PCIe SSD

Whats the model name of the enclosure/adapter you are using

It's a FIDECO M.2 NVMe Enclosure

Was your laptop running windows?

Yes, it was running Windows 10

This is the laptop, if that helps: Link

It's a 1T M.2 PCIe.

This is the laptop, if that helps: Link

And this is the enclosure I have: Link

Yes! I followed the instructions on there and the game started, but crashed pretty soon after

Awesome!

This looks quite cool, I'll have to check it out! Does it support the steam deck?

That's capitalisation. Capitalism is a philosophical view that the universe is solely based on randomness

But it says Sony PlayStation on it

Oof

Did he eat the guy afterwards?
