   enabled it says the drive is not connected even if it is connected. (All I’m   
   trying to determine is whether or not the drive is connected -- not whether   
   it’s locked or unlocked.)

   Thanks for the reply. The article you listed is about how to determine whether   
   a BitLocker drive is locked or unlocked which is not what I need to know. What   
   I'm trying to determine is whether a particular BitLocker drive is currently   
   connected to the PC.   
    So far I haven't found anything about how to do that. Any suggestions   
   appreciated!
