Drives locked by Bitlocker causes "Couldn't scan the drives: An unknown error occurred" error message

See original GitHub issue
  • Etcher version: 1.1.2 (64bit and 32bit)

  • Operating system and architecture: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

  • Image flashed: Any

  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? Not sure

Under resolved issue 1639 I also had the error message “Couldn’t scan the drives: An unknown error occurred”. I had locked drives using bitlocker but once unlocked the program works as expected. I was asked to make a new issue from the closed issue 1639.

Original message:

I just joined github to leave this comment, I was also receiving the error “Couldn’t scan the drives: An unknown error occurred”. I have 2 drives that I lock with bitlocker. Once I unlocked them I was then able to scan my drive like it should. Once I locked my drives again I ended up getting the error again and can repeat it.

I am running the 64bit version on windows.

Sounds great, but it’d require some non-trivial amount of refactoring on the drivelist module (e.g. to emit errors but still emit the drives that worked fine). Do you mind creating a new ticket so we can come back to it later?
