Removing bitlocker partition

[Tony Linguini]

Is there a way to remove the bitlocker partition after installing Vista? Can
I use the method from Vista Clues but in reverse? What are the downfalls?
Thanks in advance.

The big caveat is in Jesper's warning below. The reason why the BitLocker
team is providing a configuration tool is because of the pitfalls of
manually moving boot files. To do it correctly there is a number of entries
in BCD that must be edited as well as the physical move of the boot files.
In study, we found this too dangerous.

For anyone reading this who are installing & configuring BitLocker, I
*strongly* recommend either:
(1) Partitioning the system before installing Vista, or
(2) Waiting for the configuration tool rather than moving boot files
manually.

Did BitLocker cause problems for you Tony? Are you running out of disk space
that merging the partitions is important?

Not problems, but my board is not TPM compliant. I tested and used bitlocker
without TPM, but this is my desktop and I am going to use it on the new
tablet that I am ordering. I will wait for the tool, or maybe buy a larger
hard drive and re-install. Thanks for the info.
