I have encrypted my primary drive with bitlocker (C:) and am looking to encrypt D:\ which is a stand-alone second hard drive. However, I get an error message in the "Bitlocker Drive Encryption (D:) dialogue:
the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" when entering password
Computer is not part of any domain.

From BitLocker Group Policy Reference :
The procedure to verify this setting is as follows :
gpedit.msc
in the Start Search box and press Enter.Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\BitLocker Drive Encryption\Fixed Data Drives
.If set to Enabled, ensure that the drop-box below is set to either Do not allow complexity or Allow complexity.
