Hello Jones,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

Based on your symptom, I suspect this similar issue may be caused by the
incompatible BIOS or hardware environment. For more detailed requirements
for BitLocker, please refer to:

| Hello!
| I have a problem with Bitlocker: after the first restart (system check
| before encryption) the screen stays black. No error message, no boot
screen,
| nothing.
| This is what I did:
| 1. Allow Bitlocker without TPM (via gpedit.msc)
| 2. Use Bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool to create a new partition.
| 3. Use the Bitlocker control panel to configure encryption.
| 4. Reboot when reuired to do so for the system check.
| Result: Black screen after BIOS POST screens. No message at all.
| Ctrl-Alt-Del does work, nothing else.
|
| The only way to repair was to boot from the Windows DVD and do a startup
| repair.
|
| My configuration is as follows:
| - ABit AB9Pro board (latest BIOS) with the following onboard controllers:
| . Intel ICH8R (2 RAID arrays containing boot-volume, 2 non-RAID disks)
| . JMicron JMB363 in AHCI mode (1 HD SATA, 1 HD PATA, 1 CD-ROM PATA)
| . Silicon Image 3132 (1 CD-ROM SATA)
|
| Is there anything I am doing wrong here? Anyone got Bitlocker running
with a
| similar configuration?
|
| Thanks,
| mister.jones
