Re: Will BitLocker properly function using dual boot ?

It does and it is one of the ways that you can hide the Vista boot from the
XP boot, so that you don't lose your Vista restore points when you boot to
XP. Do a search on this group or the security one on bit locker if you want
to read more detail.

Vista Ready:
BitLocker functions properly on Vista Enterprise x64. An overview is
located at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa905065.aspx.
Following the "Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide"
located at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa905089.aspx
allows BitLocker to be properly setup. One note is that BitLocker is only
available on Vista Enterprise or Ultimate. Have a great day.
