BCDEDIT VHD error "The configuration for an element"

I used BCDEDIT to boot from my VHD. OS= Win7. But I got this error when I restarted my machine:
"The configuration for an element within the object is invalid in the boot configuration data store".

Problem: My C:\ drive had bitlocker enabled.

Solution: 1) Use partitions with no bitlocker.
                2) or Use External Sata drives (not usb)

in my case I only had a single drive. Nor did I have Sata external drives. So I disabled bitlocker on C:\ (it took 3 hours or so) and partitioned my hard disk(E: Drive). Renabled bitlocker on C:\ drive.
