Notes:
1. When setting up BitLocker in Windows Vista, the BitLocker partition should be
after the operating system partition for best results. If it is placed before the
operating system partition, the partition number will need to be updated in the
Rescue and Recovery ADM settings.
2. When restoring a system that is using Windows Vista and BitLocker, a message
will display, indicating that there was an error at shutdown. The message can
be ignored and everything should operate normally.
