RE: bitlocker

If the other computer is running Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista
Enterprise, the encrypted hard disk can be unlocked from the BitLocker
Control Panel item on the alternate computer. That computer should also have
a TPM chip.

When you unlock the BitLocker-enabled hard disk on the alternate computer,
the only authentication operation available will be recovery. The hard disk
will appear in the BitLocker Control Panel item with an option to unlock the
volume using the recovery password or recovery key.
