Hi there. Sorry to hear about your laptop becoming unusable right now after a Linux install. I have no experience yet with Bitlocker, so I have no idea how to fix it.
However, there are plenty of videos on YouTube that show how to fix such problems. Have you tried looking there?
Haha thanks, yeah I'll be looking up videos for sure! A friend said he had a trick I just didn't get it out of him on Friday when I chatted with him. Hopefully I'll get it squared away tomorrow!
