Hi Chris,

My name is Raul Martinez, i was at the presentation that you gave for the BitLocker, i would like to congratulate you on it, you did a very well made presentation and answered everyones questions.

I had a quick question about the key for the BitLocker to unlock your computer, when you have it on your flash drive, if you make it a hidden folder can the computer still read it and log you into your computer without it locking you out?

Than You

Raul Martinez

@Raul -

No better to find out than to test it! I just finished up the same Bitlocker session here in Santa Rosa and was about to reset my machine when I saw your comment. So you are getting a pseudo live demo in this comment. I booted up my Bitlocked drive, marked the key file in the root of the USB stick as hidden then rebooted. It does NOT read the file and allow the boot to take place. I am going to go ahead and make this a normal post as well.

Chris

More BitLockery.....

Raul commented on my previous BitLocker Post with a question that I felt compelled to make into a post.
