Vista Bitlocker
I have a Asus A8n32-sli deluxe
I have installed M$ Vista Ultimate 64 bit all is fine and running good. I want to turn on Bitlocker. But is says my (TPM) is disabled or missing. I have read that if your mainboard has this feature, you turn it on-off from your system bios. Does the A8n32-sli deluxe have a TPM chip ? If it does have this, How do it turn it on ? Thanks Mike |

Thanks Mike https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/faq/TPMFAQ/ "Is the TPM required for BitLocker? If so, is it only the 1.2 version? For BitLocker to make use of a TPM, it must be a 1.2 version and the system must have a BIOS that meets TCG requirements. While it is possible to use BitLocker without a TPM by storing the keying material on a USB flash drive, this is not the preferred customer configuration, nor is it expected to be typical usage due to the cost and manageability challenges associated with this mode of use." That blurb implies the BIOS must be TPM-aware. And that a module be plugged in. I've heard of a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-M59SLI-S5), that had a header provided to plug in a module, but the trick in that case, is finding the module. A quick search is not turning up anything of interest right now. And even if you did somehow attach a module to the motherboard, then there is the issue of the BIOS not knowing about it. There are some pictures of proprietary TPM modules he http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport..._DD030611_CW01 To me right now, BitLocker looks like it is best suited to a brand new shiny computer, where the TPM is built in. The idea of storing a key on a USB stick isn't too appealing. Imagine the USB stick fails to operate, how happy you'd be. Paul |
