[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1066810, member: 46727"] I can understand TrueCrypt not working because it actually creates a virtual disk and encrypts it as such. Probably because the Win 7 partition is setup to boot from EFI and does not use a real Windows boot sector. However, I'm not sure why Bit Locker which is included with your Windows Ultimate 64 isn't working. It may be for the same reason above? Anyway, what are you guys placing on those machines that you need so much security? Encryption is fine for those who really need it but I've run across folks, even businesses that encrypt when not needed. Any kind of failure or screw up with encryption usually winds up rendering the entire hard drive with all its data useless. Regards. [/QUOTE]
