Compatibility with Vista Bitlocker
To achieve compatibility with Bitlocker, Rescue and Recovery needs to be installed
after the partitions are properly set up. When setting up the Bitlocker partition the
recommended way to do so is to use the tool from Microsoft called the Bitlocker
Driver Preparation Tool. The boot partition that is created should be at least 2GB in
size.
To install Vista Bitlocker without using this tool, you must have two partitions on
your system when installing Vista. One should be 2GB and marked active; this is
where the boot files reside. The other will be where your OS is installed and where
your data will reside. When Vista is installed, it will detect this and should install
only the boot files to the smaller partition. Both partitions should be type 0x07.
When installing Rescue and Recovery on a system with Bitlocker and a service
partition is not available, the following two commands should be run to prevent
the Vista OS from asking for the Bitlocker key every time it boots. These
commands are:
bcdedit -deletevalue {globalsettings} extendedinput
and
bcdedit -deletevalue {globalsettings} extendedinput
Notes:
1. When setting up Bitlocker on Vista, the bitlocker partition should be after the
OS partition for best results. If it is placed before the OS partition,, the partition
number will need to be updated in the Rescue and Recovery ADM settings.
2. When restoring a system that is using Microsoft Vista, and Bitlocker, a message
will show up that there was an error at shutdown. this can be ignored and
everything should operate normally.
