I need to get the 100% right answer to a question which only Microsoft can
provide. Anyone know a MS presales email address which is answered?
The problem i have:
Since having some notebooks stolen we are interested in upgrading all our
notebooks and pc's to vista ulitmate so we can enable bitlocker.
The problem is all our hardisks have partitions and we are unsure if
bitlocker will lock all the partitions or only the OS drive i.e. C:/
Whoever we speak to gives us different opinions.
Example of 2 respected sites giving different answers:
=================================================================================
http://www.windows-vista-update.com/Bitlocker_Drive_Encryption.html
show lots of partitions allowed to be enabled
http://www.vnunet.com/personal-computer-world/features/2166361/vista-encrypted-disks
However, if you activate the Bitlocker Drive Encryption then you must bear
in mind that it does not protect the entire hard disk. Bitlocker only
encrypts the partition on which Windows Vista is installed. If data-only
partitions exist, they will remain unprotected.
