BitLocker can be used to encrypt drives mirrored in a RAID 1 volume?

Is it possible to use Bitlocker to encrypt a RAID 1 volume in Windows 7 Ultimate? The volume consists of two mirrored disks, created with the help of a card mother RAID enabled. What happens if one of the disks fails? I'll still be able to read each other and to mirror it on a new drive?

I have the answer is simple. BitLocker does not work on software RAID, but it does not work for hardware RAID.

I'm running a RAID 1 running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and wanted a way to secure my drives with BitLocker. So I did a lot of research to finally find the answer on the Microsoft TechNet site, buried deeply. This response should be out in the open air using Windows 7, but I found nothing and wanted to be sure before I made a movement. Here is the link if you want to read up on it yourself. It will take you to a chart on to halfway to the bottom of the document. Our concern is listed under Drive Configuration > Software, where you will see that the RAIDs based on software are not supported. I also found similar confirmation on other sites/forums.

  • Satellite U300-14 b: can I use the graphics driver for the Intel page?

    My Satellite U300-14 b (VIsta 32 bit Home Premium, 2 GB) has a 'Mobile GM945 Express Chipset Intel'. Download from Toshiba site, says I've got the latest driver, namely 7.14.10.1263 dated 04/25/07.

    The Intel site lists their latest driver such as in date 7.14.10.1364 dated 11/12/07.

    I want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep. I am told that the graphics drivers are often to blame and should therefore be updated.

    Can I safely updated with version 11/12/07, or I risk of problems? Not sure if Toshiba are just slow to release the updated driver, or if there is a better reason that they did not?

    Well, usually you can use the graphic driver directly from Intel page but I found several threads here in the forum that said that the chart non-Toshiba drivers can be installed and used only at your own risk

    > want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep
    Hmm perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver, but I recommend you to update to Vista and install all THE patches for Vista.

  • Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

    Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
    If so where is it located?
    Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
    Many other people have had problems?

    I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

    See you soon.
    Sunil

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
    Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
    I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

    I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
    But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

    Best regards

  • Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

    I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

    Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hello

    If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
    This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

    I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

    I do the same.

    Good bye

  • Can I use 2 hard drives on the Satellite A200-1YX

    Hello, who knows if it can work 2 hard drives on the A200 1YX.
    In the manual is written there are 2 locations for hard drives, but it says that for some models of Satellite A200.

    Can I use 2 HDD on Satellite A200-1YX?

    As mentioned by user above, different Satellite A200 series are present on the market.
    Some supports 2 hard drives and some as a single HARD drive.

    But both series are equipped with a second Bay I recommend you simply remove the cover plastic that holds the second HARD drive Bay and check if the HARD drive connectors are available.

    Good bye

    Hey Danny,

    ·         What exactly is the problem you are having with the Dell computer?

    Most laptops will not accept that the two internal hard drives.

    You will need to check with the manufacturer of laptop for more information on the connection of two hard drives to your particular model.

    You can also use a USB hard drive which you can then use to retrieve the data on your hard drive to the laptop via the USB port.

    You can if it's a Genuine Microsoft Vista DVD, but is NOT if it's a Dell, HP, etc the recovery disc.

    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Can I use a USB drive to external200GB as the HD for virtual Windows using Bootcamp

    Having only very limited need for any Windows function, I now do not need to use a CAD program only Windows. I tried VMware Fusion. It works, BUT everything is very slow, just browsing, so I'm sure resource intensive CAD software will be unacceptable. Where the interest in Bootcamp. Preferring to leave my primary HD intact, I would use a Reader USB 200 GB extra as the "windows partition" as this should allow everything to work more effectively.

    Windows on the external storage is legal and authorized under the of Enterprise Windows Windows-to-go. Consider a small C: Windows on the internal drive (40 GB) and use the external drive as D:.

    Hello

    On Linux systems, you are able to read the NTFS file, it should work without problem.

    If you want to write data to an NTFS drive, you need a driver.

  • CPU and CPU max and freeze my game of Combat Arms. Can I use a flash drive to store my game on? If so, how. Windows Vista HP 64-bit.

    I'd like put my music on one of these small plug-in things as well.  I have a 4 GB, USB Flash drive but for some reason, I think I bought the wrong thing... what should I use and where it goes and how it works... .so I can free up space on my new pc.  (p.s first time user sorry response)

    You can store your music and other files on the USB fllash.  Simply plug into a USB port on the computer and then it will appear in Windows Explorer as another drive.  You can move files back and forth as you would with any other drive.

    Put the game on flash drive will just make things worse for the processor and the processor - it will not solve the problem with the game.  The problem seems to be that the game requires a more powerful computer that you own.  The choices are new game or new/updated computer up-to-date (if the computer can be upgraded).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
