Drives locked by Bitlocker causes "Couldn't scan the drives: An unknown error occurred" error message
See original GitHub issue-

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.

@mgalde This should be fixed by https://resin-nightly-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/etcher/2017-08-21/1.1.2%2Bf9d7dd2/Etcher-Setup-1.1.2%2Bf9d7dd2-x64.exe
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?
