Hey Laura, OS upgrade & install require you to suspend / disable BitLocker before installing/upgrading. In your case since new OS is non-windows i.e. new OS doesn't understand BitLocker encryption at all , I would recommend decrypting the drive before install.

I just attempted to install Windows Ubuntu. I believe the failed attempt to be due to bitlocker on my domain client Lenovo (T60p) running Windows 7, one partition, bitlocked. www.ubuntu.com/.../windows-installer

Hey Jerry,

Yeah, that's the part I love about Customer Advisory - learn from engineering to help our customers better while at the same time learn from our customers to help engineering & other customers do better. I must say later one involves incredible, wide & continuous learning experience that too from industry experts.

Thank you!

-Tanu.

Hi Tanu! I was wondering what you were looking to do with the info we provided on our BitLocker deployment. It's nice to see that you are getting info out there on real world experiences so that folks who are proceeding with more trepidation will see it is OK to take the plunge and join in using BitLocker.
