Bitlocker set on the flash drive is not difficult. After connecting the flash drive on your computer, right click, and select turn on Bitlocker, Bitlocker will begin to initialize the drive. The process is not clear, so you do not have to worry about the data is already contained in the drive.
After the initialization process is complete, Bitlocker will ask you to create a password that will be used to open the drive. If you have a smart card, you can use the smart card PIN. After creating your password or use a smart card, Bitlocker will ask you to save the recovery key. You can use the recovery key to unlock the drive, if you do not remember your password or lost smart card. After the make and store the password recovery key, you will be confirmed about the encryption process.
During the encryption process, you will see a progress window that tells how far the process has been completed. The amount of time needed to complete the process will depend on the capacity of the drive.
As you can see, the process window there is the pause button that allows you to temporarily stop the process, for example if you want to do something else. But of course, once encryption is completed, Bitlocker will display a confirmation dialog box and change the drive icon.
At the time of inserting the flash drive into your Windows 7 operating system, you will be immediately prompted for the password. If you wish, you can give a check mark Show password Them characters as I type, so you can see the letter. If not, you will only see asterisks. You also can give a check mark in Automatically unlocked on this computer from now on to save your password in the cache of Windows 7. After clicking OK, you'll see the AutoPlay dialog box that asks if you want to view the file or use it as ReadyBoost. When clicking the open folder to view files, you can see the drive and its contents.
How to use flash drives which have Bitlocker installed on windows operating system or another, such as XP or Vista? Will be discussed in subsequent papers.
