hi,

I cannot seem to format my hardrive with windows xp from windows vista home 

all checks complete and when it says ``windows begin installing``   I get a blue screen of death

Dear Sir:

Can you tell me if there is a way to lock down an External Hard Drive if it's going to be transported from home to work?

BitLocker does not allow users to secure a drive without shutting down the computer.  This is an extreme security violation.

Microsoft recommends all users cease using BitLocker, and will not stand behind BitLocker as a security measure.

Microsoft confirms that this was reported during development but the staff did not feel security was a concern Microsoft should be bothered with.

Everyone has been warned.

While installing a new OS in my acer aod250  the hdd got locked with a password I didn't set.

Now I cant access hdd or even clean that password, I have to pay some "Experts" to have the password cleaned or kiss my hdd goodbye. I can aford to pay for a password cleaning but what if it happens again and again?  Should I pay again and again? Why the hell a hdd needs a password if "somebody" still can overcome it? If your notebook is stolen and the thief believes the data in it is worth he will pay some "Expert" and put hands on your data. Even a piece of disk can be read. It would be more sensible if you forget your password you loose your data(get the backup) but NOT loose your hdd.  Most average users buy another hdd, very profitable to hdd factories. My hdd is a western digital WD2500BEVT and I cant get the factory password . What shoul I do? Pay to "Experts" and risk it happen again ,  or Buy a new hdd and risk it happens again?  Does anyone can help me?

Thank you!
