Hi again!
This is a difficult question, because noone has never used BitLocker,
i know :)

I wanna encrypt the Vista Ultimate partition with BitLocker, but
i'm preoccupied: what happens if my PC breaks down?

How could i restore the encrypted files from another PC?
What keys are needed?
And how can i backup them?

Thanks a lot, bye!

It seems it's very easy!
I've to put the encrypted HD on the other computer, then
open bitlocker and choose "Unlock volume".
What keys are needed?

The cryptographic key specified while encrypting the drive.
And how can i backup them?

It's stored in the TPM of the broken computer, and on an
external media, specified during the encrypting process.
