installed. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password
(see "
Setting th e supervis or and user password", Page 36).

Microsoft® BitLocker BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) is a feature of Mi crosoft® Vista
Enterprise and Ultimate Editions for encryption of the hard disk
drive. Here , BitLocker uses the TPM for the storage of the recovery
data which are used for decryption of the partition.
It is also possible to use BitLocker without TPM and to use j ust
the USB Dongle for the storage of the encryption key. This option
is particularly interesting if Vista is i nstalled on a computer on
which either an older version of TPM (pre version 1.2) or no TPM
is installed.
A requirement for BitLocker is that you m ust have set up at least
two partitions on your hard disk. The rst partition contains the
booting information. The second, larger partition is encrypted and
contains the operating system and the user data.
Important: The partitions must be set up before Windows Vista
is installed.
