I removed bootloader because I had to send off laptop for a warranty repair. I figured if it had the bootloader screen where they needed to hit "enter" to bypass, they might not figure it out. I didn't want to complicate the repair, even if I left instructions....

As you recall, I had one heck of a time getting the Veracrypt Bootloader removed before sending my laptop off for repair. Now that I have the laptop back, I wish to reencrypt the operating system. Unfortunately, I have run into two issues. The process began and got as far as the Preboot Test and generated an error about lack of administartor priveleges.
