Enable BitLocker with a USB drive

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Windows Vista Ultimate’s new drive encryption feature BitLocker supposedly works with a regular USB drive. But if you pulled your hair BitLocker.jpgout trying to enable it using Microsoft’s non-existent documentation (like I did), the good folks at O’Reilly’s Hackszine offer a detailed, screenshot-laden tutorial. (The secret sauce, it turns out, is in a Vista Ultimate Extra download and some Group Policy Object editing.)

The other day I complained about not having the TPM hardware that enables BitLocker, but when you’re sans TPM (and at this early stage, you are), a USB drive will do the job for you. Windows Vista Tip: Enable BitLocker with a USB drive - Lifehacker
