Bitlocker + Format weirdness

Hello Everyone,

 

i recently failed miserably while formatting a flash drive, and ended up formatting my secondary HDD in my laptop :(.

 

the HDD was encrypted with Bitlocker and it was just a quick format, i was able to get all my data back using "Get data back" and putting everything in an external disk, but my problems began here, after i had everything in the external disk, i moved everything back to the previously formatted HDD, and everything was fine, i even checked many files to see if they will open.

 

an then i restarted the laptop and the first thing i noticed was that to open the secondary HDD i needed to put the Bitlocker key, and then the drive was empty....

 

why? how? i don't know.... :(

 

any explanation? did i miss something, did bitlocker f* with me?.

 

Regards
