Bitlocker Dual Boot

[Kos]

Hi,

I dual boot with XP and have enabled bitlocker on my Vista partition.
Everything is working fine. I have to insert the usb key to boot
vista, but I can boot xp without the usb key.
Is there a way to require xp to have the key to boot also, effectively
locking the notebook.
Sorry for the english, my third language.

Re: Bitlocker Dual Boot

No. XP has no knowledge of BitLocker, so it has no ability to ask for a USB
drive. If you want protection for your XP partition, consider a BIOS
password. You will, of course, have to enter this even when you want to boot
to Vista, too -- because this is required before any operating system loads.
