Windows 7 Use a BitLocker protected device on an non-W7 system

Daniel Mendel · Oct 21, 2010

Hello people, I want to know something about the BitLocker protection system:

If I use it to protect my USB pendrive, how can I use it on a Windows XP system for example? How it'll ask me the password?

I want to lock my pendrive because I have important data on it and my school computer has lots of viruses and some people might want to get my pendrive and see what's in there.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, welcome to Windows 7 Forums

Unfortunately, there's no way to make Bitlocker compatible with Windows XP (it was a feature first integrated with Vista).
There is thousands of alternative applications which have cross OS compatibility..
For basic password drive encryption, I have used this app Download Perfect Lock Beta Free - Keep your personal data into password protected drive - Softpedia
and can confirm it "gets the job done" and is compatible with all version of Windows.
