Hi,I have been having some issues when trying to turn Bitlocker on in C:I have followed the instructions as per this forum to enable a Startup key in gpedit.msc as I dont have TPM which worked.After following the instructions, Windows Bitlocker asked me to insert a USB to save the startup key to. This appeared to save and then moved onto the next step where I took down the recovery key etc... and finally restarted to make sure my system was compatible before encryption started.Upon restart, Windows said that it couldnt find a key on the USB drive. After further investigation I found that windows did not save the key to the USB after all even checked as a hidden file. It will save the text file (recovery key) to usb but not the bek file for the startup key. I have tried this several times but each time it wont save although the system dosent say there has been a problem and moves on to the next stage.The USB is a 2gb cruzer with the smart drive software removed and re-formatted to NTFS. I have also tried this on other USB drives with no luck and the USB drives work as Iam able to write other things to it?I have also checked that Bitlockersetup has created the second partition correctly which it has a 300mb NTFS active partition?Any help would be greatly appriciated as I have searchedmany forum's with no luck?ThanksMarc
