Microsoft® BitLo cker BitLock e r Drive Encrypt ion (BDE) is a feature of Microsoft® Vista
Enterprise and Ultimate Editions for encryption of the hard d isk
drive. Here, BitLocker uses the T PM for the storage of the re covery
data which are used for decryption of the partition.
It is also possible to use BitLocker without TPM and only to use
the USB dongle for storing th e crypto key. This option is mainly of
interest if Vista is i nsta lled on a c omputer on which TPM is not
installed or an older version (before Version 1.2) is installed.
For BitLocker to work, you must have set up at least two partitions
on your hard drive. The first partition contains the boot information.
The second, larger partition is encrypted and contains the operating
system as well as the user data .
Important: The partitions must be set up before Windows Vista
is installed.
