 --Vista Bitlocker Setup--

Microsoft has a Bitlocker setup guide at this URL
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905089.aspx

During Bitlocker setup, uncheck the Bitlocker System Check option
(Bitlocker won't let you proceed further if left on).

Currently the method that Vista reads the Bitlocker Recovery Password
via a USB drive is unsupported.  If the system state has changed and 
Bitlocker requests the Recovery Password, the stored password on the 
USB drive must be typed  in manually.   

If the system state has changed, disabling and then re-enabling 
Bitlocker will store the new system state as the default
verified state so that Bitlocker won't prompt for the Recovery Password 
again.
