C BitLocker drive Encryption in Windows 7 Enterprise

Hello

I have motherboard active TPM. I encrypted drive C: by BitLocker. I want to know if the hard drive is stolen, what will happen? The computer will boot with the hard drive stolen?

Thank you best regards &,.

Sourav Dasgupta

The computer will boot with the hard drive stolen?

No, it won't. However, the more important question is: can the thief the disc? For an authoritative answer, you must perform this simple test:

  1. Connect the drive as one secondary drive to another machine.
  2. Start Windows and log on to an admin account.
  3. Check if you can read data on the second drive.

If privacy is important, so you satisfy yourself with the answers of the interviewees. They might, or are may not be incorrect. You must do what would be a thief.

I have a lot of important things in this player.

    Thank you...

    We would agree with what said that Frederik Long . BitLocker is used to encrypt your files and protects your data in case your device is lost or stolen. The only way to access your files on this disc is to enter the Bitlocker key or password. If you don't remember what is it, you must accept the fact there is no other way to access it again, unless you had the key to recovery for this drive.

  • What happens if I forget to remove my key (Flash DRIVE) storage media after the Bitlocker Drive encryption key is responsible?

    I'm new to BitLocker and don't know much about computers in general. I do not have a TPM, so I use a USB key containing the BitLocker encryption key to start Windows. Everything works fine. I don't, however, forgot to remove the USB after that and also when you restart the computer. This could be a security problem if I am connected to the Internet? (I'm alone and therefore am not worried else wanting to access the computer in person.) I'd appreciate any help I could get with this question.

    If you are only using the computer, then it is not a security problem. If you connect to the computer. I suggest you to see the following links for more information.

  • I forgot my recovery bitlocker drive encryption key. Help, please

    I forgot the Bitlocker drive encryption recovery key... Help, please

    THX,

    Ashish

    Say goodbye to your data.

    You'll just have to reinstall and reactivate your license.

    If you don't remember the 48-character encryption key (which would be) or you did not write it or not create a USB encryption key to decrypt the drive at startup, then you experience the effectiveness of encryption.

    Sincere apologies.

  • How to restore a full backup of the Server 2008 system that has been stored on a BitLocker Drive encrypted?

    I have a requirement to encrypt my server for transport off-site backups, so I'll try to store my backups to an external drive that is encrypted for BitLocker.  I am doing a test restore to a new drive to simulate a full system recovery, but I'm unable to unlock the drive encrypted with the backup of the prompt under system recovery options.

    I have confirmed that I can unlock the drive from a command inside the original Windows installation prompt using manage - bde.wsf and the recoverypassword, but the same command does not work from the command prompt during the recovery process (started from the installation DVD).  There is no error code, a single message that the recovery key did not work and administrator privileges may be required.

    When you try the same command from another server when connected to that drive, I got an error that can be informative, code 0 x 80310037, implying that the recovery key may not because of the FIPS compatible algorithms that are needed.

    I'm looking for something that isn't possible trying to store the complete system on a BitLocker encypted disk backups?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

  • drive encryption BitLocker could not recover abruptly ended conversation

    Hello world... I have an external drive that I had locked with the bitlocker and if she had it for about a year now... and something happened to her, I guess when he was to encrypt the drive there where once it's plugged in it asking to be unlocked and then once unlocked it looks to as 96.2% completed , but has encountered a problem and could not finish the encryption... I was still able to use player for all this time... it looked like not much because after closing this window I could still use this drive with no problems.  Now I just plugged the drive and I typed the password and it gives me an error saying... "bitlocker drive encryption do not recover abruptly ended conversation. This could be due to all the newspapers of conversation being corrupt or media is write-protected. "and now I can't unlock the drive, and it really saddens me because I have a bunch of movies and software and pictures of my family and my children, but also many other things that mean a lot to me and it was my only backup of these elements. How can I fix this so that I can go back to this player and power use for one and also so that I can back stuff up to another drive so that I may be losing once again! Thank you! Any help will be much appreciated
