just when i go to the C: drive and attempt to turn on bitlocker. the tutorial i was referring to was the one describing preparing a computer with or without the chip (TPM) and yes win 7 is working fine
regards
I must admit that I do not see a reason here for why you cannot turn on BitLocker for the C: drive. What is interesting is that it will not let you shrink the drive as well. What message does it tell you for why it can't? I'm guessing that this may be the cause.
thanks again for the guidance. I know just enough too often to get in trouble.
Im gonna assume doing my monthly CCleaning did something good cause shortly after loading bitlocker to get a more detailed description to answer you It took off and what do ya know downloaded and locked my C:drive.

Didn't MS change BitBlocker with an update recently to make BitBlocker work without TPM? Does anyone know if they made the changes listed here or did they do something different? I configured BitBlocker on a PC 4 days ago without TPM and it worked without making any of the above changes. ???
