Bitlocker Encryption stays at 0%

[Andrew]

I am using a WD 320Gb drive with AHCI enabled
Intel G33TL board without TPM

Windows Vista Enterprise 64bit (Orginally Chinese with English MUI
installed)

I've configured it to run bitlocker with a USB flash drive

the computer then rebooted, and after logon into windows

the drive starts encryption and then it stays at 0%

RE: Bitlocker Encryption stays at 0%

Leave it for a while. It will probably take 12+ hours to encrypt a drive that
large.

Re: Bitlocker Encryption stays at 0%

so, I should reduce the partition size of the system volume?

Re: Bitlocker Encryption stays at 0%

Surely, you mean the boot volume (the one with the system files) and not the
system volume (the one with the boot files)?

No, I wouldn't. As long as it keeps going you will eventually end up with a
fully encrypted volume. It will just take a while to complete.

Re: Bitlocker Encryption stays at 0%

That is actually the correct terminology. The system volume holds the files
that boot the computer, and the boot volume holds the system files.
