Bit Locker Drive Encryption of Windows Vista

Have just downloaded the Bios Upgrade version 2.2 (QG40 BIOS_W220.exe), but I inadvertently omitted to turn the 'Bit Locker Drive Encryption of Windows Vista' off first, as Toshiba had advised.
Is there any corrections I can make to rectify this omission and ensure the G40 and the software operate correctly?

Thanks for your prompt reply Jeka-Nn. But I have several further questions before going too far with the suggestions as I am not familiar with software modifications.
1. What am I actually trying to do overall by downloading and using the suggested application.? Can you give me some overall picture of what I am trying to do?
2. Does this fix the problem without me having to make choices--is it self sufficient/self-installing?
3. Will it return the system to its correct operational settings before I downloaded the Bios upgrade?
4. I have downloaded the application suggested, but when I try to open the file it sends up a message that reads:
Error; this installer does not contain any compressed files. To create a self extracting installation package (with embedded files) run:
"TrueCrypt Setup.exe" /p
When I press OK, it simply reverts to the downloaded list which has the TrueCrypt v7.0 included, but nothing else happens.
What do I need to do to fully install the application?
5. Are there any other steps /inclusions that I need to make to fully correct my 'stupidity'?
Sorry about all these questions but you can see I am a raw beginner at this work.
With thanks, rons

Bit locker drive encryption failed due to power failer and hard disk corrupted

I ran Bitlocker drive ecryption drive D. My pc is windows 7 ultimate, while it was in progress of 1% due to power failer the encryption failed, when power resume the drive didn't showed the file format nor the size but it shows the size in disk management.
It showed like this in My computer
I do Have the recovery code password and back of recovery password so I ran the "manage-bde-_unlock D:-rp[my code ]
and my pc got hang no other option rather than to press the restart button.
then I used commang "repair-bde -force D:I:-rp[my rp] and following info showed but it stucked in 1% about 8 hours, and there was no increase in the pecentage
I also connected the hardisk to mac but all othe partation showed but didn't showed the encrypted one.
I had lots of memorable picture and other backups so any one kindly help me to get out of this problem. Thanks for help

Hi,
The BitLocker encryption and decryption processes can be interrupted by turning the computer off, and it will resume where it left off the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
Bitlocker-repair (repair-bde) tool
can't repair a drive that failed during the encryption or decryption process.
In addition, could you please explain a bit for what drive you are trying to deal with? external one?
When you first restart your PC, have you seen any signs that indicate that the encryption is in process?
Regarding your scenario, please take a look to see if the following articles could help here:
Scenario 11: Recovering Data Protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption (Windows 7)
Besides, when running manage-bde command, did we followed the steps mentioned in the below article?
Scenario 14: Using a Data Recovery Agent to Recover BitLocker-Protected Drives (Windows 7)

My HP dv7-1245dx (intel processor) keeps locking up when loading Windows Vista

Hi All,
I am someone can help me with this particulary frustrating problem. I have an HP dv7-1245dx that keeps locking up once you see the windows screen with the 'chaser bar' scrolling. Shortly after I hear a 'pop' on the speakers (I am assuming it was loading the audio driver) it consistenly locks up; the scroll bar stops... and that is it!! I first tried checking the bios for function, and the computer did lock up when the 'long hard disk diagnostics) starts. The memory is fine, and the quick disk drive check worked fine. Couldn't even find a BIOS version online to reload. I recently duplicated and replaced the old hard drive with a bit-for-bit copy. I put the OLD drive back in thinking the new hard drive were somehow currupted, but the exact same thing happened.
I ordered recovery discs because I couldn't find my originals... initially. I tried both sets, and the same thing continues to happen after reading the first disk, then seemingly going back to the hard drive. Let me say this, the recovery utility sucks!! You would think it would take ready command and control of the computer, allowing one to make changes. I think this is Carly Forina's fault!!
Do I need to buy new Vista OS copy and reload?? Has anyone experienced the same thing?? I would appreciate any help in the right direction anyone is willing to offer me. Thank you in advance!!

Hi @windoz
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having some problems getting your Windows Vista to load properly. Buying another copy of Windows Vista and reloading most likely isn't going to help you here. It does look like a hardware issue. If you have tried two different hard drives and the memory test comes up fine then it either the cable connecting the hard drive or the processor on the motherboard. I would recommend having someone take a look at the notebook.

Problems with driver in microsoft windows vista

I speak of Brazil, I have a smarthfone BlackBerry 8100 and a Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook with Windows Vista 32-bit, Service Pack 1. I'm having problems with "Bluetooth peripheral device" and the solution of the problem indicates to contact with RIM to find and properly install the driver of that device. How did attempt to resolve the download of the BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.7, but said, I want to get a resolution to the problem. No more, thank you now.

> What can we do?
Let your Cisco rep know that this is an important feature. The word I have is that stateful firewall is not in the Vista feature set for Cisco.
The readme for the Cisco VPN client 5.0 bears this out:
Known Issues:
CSCsh02887 Vista: Stateful firewall does not start.
CSCse44616 Vista: VPN Client should not install Zone Lab Firewall on Vista platform
CSCsf07334 Vista: Stateful Firewall Not Supported on Vista VPN Client

Windows XP hard drive in a Windows Vista computer.No sound n

I bought a brand new computer that had Windows Vista installed on it. I
dont like Vista so I took the hard dri've out and replaced it with a brand
new hard dri've. I then loaded Windows XP Home onto the hard dri've.
Everything went perfectly fine EXCEPT there is no sound. I get an error
that says that I don't have a driver installed and gives me a (CODE 0)
error. Any advice on what to do now?

Ok first note, you should NEVER do what you did. Never take out the hard dri've just to get rid of an Os or program. there are much safer ways of installing Xp. You should have just formatted the HD and installed XP that way. Anyway, what you might be able to do is uninstall the drivers for Everything and reinstall them. The way you did it is flawed because the Hardware is still thinking its running on Vista and you pretty much confused it.

ITunes Will Not Recognize My CD/DVD Drive In My Windows Vista PC.

All,
I was forced to migrate to a new PC for work. It is running Windows Vista Enterprise. Since receiving the PC, iTunes will not recognize my CD/DVD Drive. I receive the following error message:
"Warning, The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing....." etc.
I have completed the following troubleshooting steps with no success:
1. Deleted upper and lower filters in the registry per the Microsoft fix from their web site.
2. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes/Quicktime/Etc.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CD/DVD Drive
4. Verified that other programs recognize and can burn to my CD/DVD drive. I have Windows Media Player and Roxio Creator Basic installed.
5. Verified that Windows Vista recognizes my CD/DVD drive.
6. Installed the GEAR driver recommended on the Apple Support page for this issue.
All of my music in is iTunes and I prefer to burn my CD's via iTunes. I have read that several people are having this issue.
Does anyone have a solution? There has to be a fix out there somewhere.
I can downgrade to XP but it will take an "Act Of Congress" for my corporate IT group to send me the XP downgrade CD.
Any solutions or recommendations are great appreciated.

Hi
As far as I know the Tecra M5 was delivered either with the Intel or nVidia graphic card.
On the notebooks with nVidia graphic card you can set different option in the nVidia Desktop manager; for example Enable multiple desktops
You should find it in control panel.
Unfortunately, I dont know exactly where the settings are placed in the nVidia manager because this notebook was delivered only with WinXP but Im sure you will find it.

N95 device driver conflict with windows Vista Home...

When I connect my N95 to laptop and check in device drivers it comes up with a problem against the N95 mobile phone with the following windows message. windows does not offer a solution to this message either.
Message reads:Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
This may also be the cause of nokia software update not detecting the phone as connected, even though Nokia PC Suite does detect phone?
I am usig latest update for wondows Home premium, and Nokia PC Suite.Operating system:

I have exactly the same problem listed above. I have a n95 and a pc with vista home premium. I cannot sync though pc suite says the n95 is connected. No sync setting appear when I click that button. I cannot update the phone software as it doesn't recognise the phone is connected and the device driver is disabled. I had a 6300 installed so I uninstalled that and it made no difference.

ITunes installation made CD/DVD drive dissapear for Windows Vista

Ok, so I got a new PC last week with Windows Vista. Everything had been working just fine until today (or today I realized)that Vista stopped recognizing my CD/DVD drive. After several hours I found that the problem was caused by iTunes and some GEAR software/drivers that it uses for burning CDs. So I logged on to GEAR's website to D/L the latest drivers, installed them, but still nothing happened. I then unistalled them, rebooted and still the same... Finally, I removed manually this GEAR thing, rebooted, and my CD/DVD drive was visible and accesible again. The problem is that now iTunes cannot burn CDs because it can´t find the GEAR software.
So this is a catch-22 situation: If I uninstall and re-install iTunes, I will not be able to see my CD/DVD drive, and if I remove these GEAR stuff, then I can see it but iTunes will not burn anything!!!!
For now I´ve decided to stay like this because at least I can use some other apps to burn CDs, and I can still sync my iPod, but I would like to have a solution for this.
Anybody has seen this same problem?

Can'n access to my time capsule hard drive with my windows vista pc

Hi there,
I just bought a 2T time capsule.
Set up it is ok as my home network and works perfectly.
However i can't access it (reading or writing) with my windows vista pc, it asks me for a username and password.
how can I escape it and have direct access ?
thx

Give it admin as username and public as the password unless you changed the default.
I recommend you load the airport utility for windows onto the vista pc. Bonjour helps windows to discover Apple network devices and access them.
You might also need to turn off firewall in the vista machine. At least make sure it is set to home, not work or public.
In the TC itself using SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
And on the file sharing page set guest account to read and write access.

I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.

Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.

Installing a windows 7 (64 bit) printer driver to existing windows xp network

Dear-Users......... i have connected 5 computers through a switch and ( hp laserjet 2014) printer is directly connected to one of them and shared on the network. 3 computers running on windows xp and one i added last time it was windows 7 (32 bit)
it is working good as well. the problem now i am facing is this today i tried to add one more windows 7 (64 bit) pc to this network. now this computer can't access the printer. i have installed the printer driver on the pc but its not finding he printer
on network ......my pc is sharing other network resources the problem is not of connection its connected to the network just printer driver is making problem for me.........any suggestion....i tried to install this 64 bit printer diriver on the printer server
computer as additional driver .....but it does not worksssss.......what should i do.......thxxxxx

So this issue is that your newly Windows 7 doesn't detect the shared printer, are you able to add this printer manually? Type "Add a printer" in start button\search box, then in the Add printer Wizard, select
Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer, Choose a network printer...
And make sure the network is working correctly and the computer where the printer is plugged in is turned on.

Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver failure in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (solved)

I had problems setting up Bluetooth HotSync. Following the directions for pairing the device resulted in a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" missing driver in Device Manager. I finally figured out how to setup HotSync and am able to sync over Bluetooth to Windows 7 64-bit.
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and select Show Bluetooth Devices
Delete the Palm Phone
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery on for the PC
On the Palm Device
Select Bluetooth
Turn Bluetooth On
Set Visibility to Hidden (if desired)
Select Setup Devices on the Bluetooth screen
Select HotSync Setup
Click Next
Select your PC
This is the important part: Click Next 3 times (don't do what the screens tell you -- just click Next, Next, Next)
Click Launch HotSync
Viola!
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery off for the PC (if desired)

I am having the same problem with a new RocketFish Bluetooth adapter. I did NOT have this problem when I was using a Kensington USB Bluetooth adapter. One big difference that I notice between the two adapters is that the Kensington adapter came with an updated version of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software which contained its own DUN drivers. However, the new RocketFish Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB adapter does not seem to work with the Toshibal BT Stack.
Maybe this helps. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, I don't care. It's how I roll. I'm a smart ass.
I will check back for any additions to this thread. I hope we can figure it out! I will also post more Prose of Indifference.
