it depends on how you set it up..... If you don't have TPM on your computer, and DON'T want to use a USB Drive for a Startup key, then you are limited to volume encryption. i.e. you partition your drive in 2, and encrypt one of the volume. The unencrypted volume contains the start-up files. Three alternatives for using BitLocker are: 1) Partition the HDD in 2, and encrypt one volume. This is useful if you don't have TPM. 2) Use TPM to wrap + bind + store the encryption key 3) Use USB Drive to store the encryption key and startup files. saqib http://www.full-disk-encryption.net
