Drive encryption - Unlock on logon

[UnworthyBean]

Looking to turn on bitlocker on my pc, but it's currently used headless 90% of the time and does get shutdown after use. Problem with bitlocker is in order to get drives to automatically unlock, the system drive needs to be encrypted too. Not a massive problem, but this requires the password to be entered before it even gets to Windows so can't really use it headless.

I don't need the system drive encrypted, just the few data drives, but need them to automatically unlock with Windows. Anyone know if this is possible?

Sort of leaves me in the same scenario unfortunately. Would have to plug the usb drive in to access the computer.

Might be slightly easier than typing in the password each time but still a pain. Also means when I shut the computer down, going and removing the drive.
