installed.

Compatibility

with

Vista

Bitlocker

To

achieve

compatibility

with

Bitlocker,

Rescue

and

Recovery

needs

to

be

installed

after

the

partitions

are

properly

set

up.

When

setting

up

the

Bitlocker

partition

the

recommended

way

to

do

so

is

to

use

the

tool

from

Microsoft

called

the

Bitlocker

Driver

Preparation

Tool.

The

boot

partition

that

is

created

should

be

at

least

2GB

in

size.

To

install

Vista

Bitlocker

without

using

this

tool,

you

must

have

two

partitions

on

your

system

when

installing

Vista.

One

should

be

2GB

and

marked

active;

this

is

where

the

boot

files

reside.

The

other

will

be

where

your

OS

is

installed

and

where

your

data

will

reside.

When

Vista

is

installed,

it

will

detect

this

and

should

install

only

the

boot

files

to

the

smaller

partition.

Both

partitions

should

be

type

0x07.

When

installing

Rescue

and

Recovery

on

a

system

with

Bitlocker

and

a

service

partition

is

not

available,

the

following

two

commands

should

be

run

to

prevent

the

Vista

OS

from

asking

for

the

Bitlocker

key

every

time

it

boots.

These

commands

are:

bcdedit

-deletevalue

{globalsettings}

extendedinput

and

bcdedit

-deletevalue

{globalsettings}

extendedinput

Notes:

1.

When

setting

up

Bitlocker

on

Vista,

the

bitlocker

partition

should

be

after

the

OS

partition

for

best

results.

If

it

is

placed

before

the

OS

partition,,

the

partition

number

will

need

to

be

updated

in

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

ADM

settings.

2.

When

restoring

a

system

that

is

using

Microsoft

Vista,

and

Bitlocker,

a

message

will

show

up

that

there

was

an

error

at

shutdown.

this

can

be

ignored

and

everything

should

operate

normally.
