Default Bitlocker black screen after reboot

I heard, there will be changes to Bitlocker in SP1. Will these be only in
the GUI or will the boot-code change, too, so that there is hope that it
will work with my hardware?

Yes, I agree with your opinion.

| Thanks Ken, for coming back to this issue. I looked at the document on
| Bitlocker you pointed me to. Most of it is about TPM requirements.
However,
| I want to run Bitlocker without TPM, which is possible when this feature
is
| activated in Group Policy.
| I suppose rather that Bitlocker is not finding the right harddisk.
Because
| there are three controllers and six disks, I suppose the Bitlocker's
| bootcode gets confused. What startles me is that it does not even give
out
| an error message.
| Best regards

| | 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
