Hi George Fr, Thanks for the post! Check this Release Note here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee460920.aspx File Restore cannot unlock volumes encrypted by BitLocker File Restore cannot access or restore files from a BitLocker encrypted volume unless you unlock the volume during Windows RE startup. Workaround: To restore files from a BitLocker volume that is recognized by the operating system, enter a valid BitLocker recovery key and unlock the volume during Windows RE startup.

there is no refrenece there to what happens to DaRT during the encryption. If i hit F8 i get prompted to enter the recovery key, once I enter i do not see the DaRT (repair your computer) as I stated before, is there a specific partition layout for this? Regards George www.supportweblog.com

Short how we did this to our 25k computers: Rename the boot.wim from MSDaRT to winre.wimDisable REAgentCCreate Recovery\WindowsRE folder on bitlocker partitioncopy winre.wim to that folderSet new WinRE.wim (cmd): REagentC /setreimage/ path <bitlockerpartition>\Recovery\WindowsRE\ /target C:\windows /bootkey 3e00 (<-- = F4, press this during boot to start MSDaRT)Enable REAgentCHide bitlocker partition if wanted
