Bit Locker with Crucial SED

Here is a quick video and walkthrough showing how to enable hardware encryption on Crucial SSD drives using Bitlocker in Windows 8/8.1 on a system without a built in TPM chip.

Where is your question, sir?
If the question were "is it easy to crack", the answer is "no". Your videos make use of several assumptions and ingredients and permissions that a normal attacker does not have.
"Problem 3" is not clear, please describe what scenario you are talking about.

Problem with recovering data from Bit Locker enabled hard disk with bad sectors

Hi,
I have Lenovo T430 laptop with Windows 7 and Bit Locker enabled hard disk. While working I encountered blue screen error multiple times. After some time, the laptop stopped to boot by itself and started showing error 'A disk read write error has occurred.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart' message. I tried to connect the hard disk to a different PC as a secondary drive and tried to check the disk to recover the data. The 500 GB disk is showing as unallocated space and I am not sure how to recover the
data from the hard disk. Appreciate your help to recover the data from corrupted hard disk.
I used the Lenovo Diagnostics tools available in BIOS and it showed 48 bad sector errors on the hard disk. I also used Windows 7 CD and tried auto repair but it looks like it didn't do anything.
Thanks in advance!

Hi SenneVL,
Since there are 48 bad sectors on your hard disk, this means the system can not boot any more, the data might not be restored in a normal way, you'd better turn to data restore company for help.

Bit locker Mutliple Drives Mutliple OS's

I have a laptop with two hard drive in it. The primary has Windows 7 Enterprise and is a member of the corporate domain. The secondary has Server 2008 R2 and is a member of the lab domain. There is no trust or association between domain.
The laptop does the Windows multi-boot off the primary drive. I want to enable bit locker to secure the drives.
If the two windows environments were exclusively separate, setting up bit locker on each drive independently would be pretty straight forward, but when I'm in one OS, I will frequently need to get files and data from the other drive (and no, making each
drive big enough to hold all it's own data is not an option, plus the synchronization headache). Both drives will need to be bit locked to their respective OS, but the other drive will need to be accessible.
And not to make things too easy, the secondary drive, which i put in an optical drive bay carrier, routinely gets pulled (not while the system is running, of course) out and popped into a USB case to be used as a library transfer drive.
So....
the Windows 7 drive needs to be natively bit locked. and be accessible when running Windows 2008 from the second drive.
the Windows 2008 R2 drive needs to be natively bit locked, and be accessible when running Windows 7 from the first drive, and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system.
I would appreciate any wisdom you can share to make this all work. And please presume that i know next to nothing about installing and running bit locker, because that's pretty much true.
Let me know if you need more information about my configuration.
Thanks

Hi,
"and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system."
Firstly, if you enable bitlocker for one drive, it will be encrypted always until you decrypt it. Thus after you insert it to any system, it need to enter the credential to access it.
And then, if you want to access one drive in another computer, you need to get the shared permission. After you' re granted the sufficient permission, you could access it no matter if it's encrypted. Of course, another computer must be started.

how to solve these. help me

Hi，
If you lost recovery key and are unable to access the disk at this moment, then I'm sorry but I have to say that you're lost. If the data in that encrypted drive is very important for you, then you might need a data recovery center to help you.

Hi ,
I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the
BitLocker Repair Tool.
You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.

Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

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 and one drive

HI.
I would like to find out what would happen if I were to user the bit-locker to encrypt my drive and all it files but at the same time ,the files that's in my one-drive are synced with 365 and shared among many other users.
When they open their one drive will the file I updated be encrypted forcing them to enter a decryption password as well.
thanks

no
The file encryption is part of the filesystem. When the file is transferred it is sent unencrypted.

Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?

Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?
Problem 1: When the PC run I think its too easy to get malicious users (with usb pendrive) or spyware to get the encryption key (fast and easy)
youtube.com/watch?v=0npTlOq6q_0
Problem2:not resistant with bruteforce attacks
youtube.com/watch?v=zvaJxnvbGic
Problem 3: not resistant with boot hacking
Im using DriveCrypt plus pack and searched security issues in bit locker.The bit locker allow you the bruteforce/dic attack easy.I think It would be much safer 1. (I think the keys stored somewhere that is easily read) 2. Do not just be enough password
need a password+file combination to decrypt the disk. DriveCrypt plus pack use a file+password combination if you know the password but you wont have the file you can not decrypt the disk (protect with bruteforce attack).On system boot protected bruteforce
attak you can crash the (boot).If the boot system crash you can not decrypt the disk just the password you need the file+password combination plus to decrypt it. I am not a programmer but I see the BitLocker ( easy security catches to crack the disk encryption).Im
tested DriveCrypt and I can not get the key that easy (Problem 1). I have not tested it in greater depth just trying to (catches to crack software encryption).

Where is your question, sir?

Bit locker encryption requests key unless I suspend and resume the encryption

I am rolling out new computers with Windows 7 Enterprise OS on them. I am installing bit locker encryption on them. For some reason with this group of computers, and I recently rolled out a different batch of computers without this problem,
after encrypting, I must suspend and resume bit locker or upon restart of shutdown and start the user is prompted for the bit locker encryption key.

Hi,
Could you please tell some more details about the issue? What do you want to achieve here? To enable bitlocker without the prompt of the startup key? If it is , then please take a check if we have Require
additional authentication at startup policy enabled.
Besides, could you please have a share for how do you enable bitlocker?
And here is a guide for bitlocker in Windows 7, just for reference:
