    BitLocker


    I am trying to encrypt a 250 gb internal had drive with bitlocker... it made it until 57% and will not finish. When I restart my pc and click resume it starts then returns to yellow (pause). I am now also having big problems with my machine now freezing. Some how bitlocker and windows live are part of the problem... I think. Any ways does anyone have any though or tricks to get this drive to finish encrypting?

    Thanks

    My limited experience with failed BitLocker operations is that I had to use the DiskPart CLEAN command to get to where I could even access the drive that failed.

    When you get ready to use Bitlocker, disconnect from the internet then turn off your anti-virus, anti-anything software. Close all programs. Now use BitLocker.

According to the MS guy, the FBI then said to MS: you can't include it on 7 consumer versions. Maybe this been discussed here or elsewhere, but that...
