| | Bitlocker Dual Boot Hi, I dual boot with XP and have enabled bitlocker on my Vista partition. Everything is working fine. I have to insert the usb key to boot vista, but I can boot xp without the usb key. Is there a way to require xp to have the key to boot also, effectively locking the notebook. Sorry for the english, my third language. |

| | Re: Bitlocker Dual Boot No. XP has no knowledge of BitLocker, so it has no ability to ask for a USB drive. If you want protection for your XP partition, consider a BIOS password. You will, of course, have to enter this even when you want to boot to Vista, too -- because this is required before any operating system loads. -- Steve Riley steve.riley@xxxxxx http://blogs.technet.com/steriley http://www.protectyourwindowsnetwork.com "Kos" <tbanot.com> wrote in message news:lk1dg39hk13jg48t6o93s7vq44a0vebcg2@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I dual boot with XP and have enabled bitlocker on my Vista partition. > Everything is working fine.
