bitlocker

windows-8.1

I just turned on Bitlocker on my development laptop for the first time (Windows 8.1) and encrypted both SSDs. When I started SQL Server Enterprise Manager, it could not connect to the default instance on the local machine.

Does this not work? I have been googling for an hour and only found anecdotal evidence, but no solid information.

Just to clarify - I am not interested in encrypting a database. I want to run SQL Server on a machine with an encrypted drive.
