I have a bitlocker encrypted hard drive, im using windows xp, and i encrypted the hard drive when i had windows 7, i dont know how to decrypt it, so where do i download the xp version of bitlocker or alternative. Thanks a lot! Hi ChessmanWindows XP SP3 and later OSs can READ the drive (ifyou have the key) but they cannot write to it. So you can recover the data on that drive in XP.Go ot the following article:How to use the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer for Active Directory Users and Computers tool to view recovery passwords for Windows Vista Scroll down to the "How to obtain the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer tool for Windows Vista" section for the details and instructions.More helpful links here:Everything You Need To Know About BitLockerHope this helps.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

alright, i tried installing these things, and checking out the blog...that didn't help me, i have sp3 installed now, but the tools aren't doing anything, and the .msu file isn't working..i have the bitlocker recovery key saved on my usb drive, ...but what good does that do...what about bitlocker to go? can i download that somewhere? I looked for it...nothing there...uh...where? :P Thanks.

Hi chessmanexe, Currently, Bitlocker to go only available on Windows 7. We cannot install it on Windows XP.

Hello all,BitLocker to Go is available only with Windows 7 But BitLocker to Go creates the necessary files bitlockertogo.exe on the flash disk, sd card, etc.And when you attach the removable media to a Windows XP computer it will request for the password to read the contents of the file. But Windows XP computers can not write on BitLocker to Go encrypted drives.Please refer to my notes on New Windows 7 BitLocker Tool (BitLocker to Go) and BitLocker Password RecoveryEralper http://www.kodyaz.comhttp://www.eralper.com

Pls install bitlocker to go in your system This is available for windows XP too. Once you have installed it , you can connect encripted drive and you will be able to read it. Let me know if this works www.poolmycar.in www.hireindians.net www.reminderstoday.com
