I installed the beta version of Windows 7, and ended up with a lot of viruses while surfing the web. I had used bitlocker on a USB Hard Drive. I know my password, but since I re-installed Windows 7, the system keeps requesting the "key." I have searched my computer, and the USB thumb drive where I stored the Key, with no luck. Any advice? (Also, UnHackMe revealed and removed some Trojans, and now it seems my Bios is locked. I am no longer able to gain acces to it.) I have a good mind to return to Vista, except, I really like being able to lock my hard drive with Windows 7. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I could until it was tooooo late. Please help! Thanks.

Did you use bitlocker to go? Have you tried sticking the usb into another computer?

Hello trwhas,Have you been able to resolve your question? Did you set a data recovery agent when you configured BitLocker? If so please post the answer so others can see or if you need more help let us know. Thanks-Scott
