Bitlocker not encrypting?

I am having an issue where once I got bitlocker set up, my key saved, and I
restart to do the test and to start encryption it stays at 0%. I am running
two 160 gig WD sata2 drives on an asus crosshair motherboard using the 590SLI
chipset. I am not sure what is causing this and can't seem to find any
answeres on the web. Hoping someone can help me here.
Thanks

William:
If you have BitLocker setup on a raid array, encryption will stay at
0% but the partition won't be visible to XP (with a dual boot system).
BitLocker works properly on WD SATA2 hard drives with 160GB, 320GB and 500GB
sizes in a non raid on systems that I'm running. Have a great day.

Re: Bitlocker not encrypting?

Dennis,
According to MS Bitlocker will work on raid arrays. I am not sure
though what is causing this issue. I know it isn't the drives, although I am
thinking of pointing my fingers at NVIDIA. I think maybe their drivers for my
raid controller are the cause, but I am not 100% sure.
