Windows 7 - BitLocker Questions

[DaveLembke]

I was wondering if BitLocker for Win7 would be a nightmare if say the Win7 became corrupt?

With normal NTFS drive you can slave the drive or external USB the drive and have access to the data.

If your system is bricked from proper boot and BitLocker enabled... is your data bricked as well with the BitLocker encryption enabled from retrieving important info via slave or external HD method?

"OR" Is there a way to make a clean install on a different drive with same encryption key and have a passthrough encryption match between the drive that has the bricked OS to get the data retrieved that way?

Maybe.

after struggling with double-space and stacker I no longer ever use low-level encryption or compression tools.

I personally don't and probably never will trust it with my Data...but that is just personal opinion.

The few people i've talked to that have seemed to have no issues but none had the scenario you described above so i can't say.
