That is a ticket to potential catastrophic and unrecoverable data loss. To me the best method is to use encrypted Disk Images for files you want to protect on your internal HD and encrypted external drives for storage.As far as a program to read your Bitlocked drive, you might try Knox from Agilebits Software. It is a good package for creating and managing encrypted folders and Disk Images, possible it might be able to read your old drive. Worth a try.</blockquote>
