Is there any way I can access a bitlocker encrypted Windows 7 drive from Linux? I am not using TPM and I do have the key on a USB thumbdrive. So I have all the pieces.

There are currently no Bitlocker drivers on Linux, so that is a no.

Though, you could fire up a VM and access it from there.

And after you access it, I would recommend switching to truecrypt truecrypt.org which works better and works in Linux also. – jhcaiced Dec 4 '11 at 17:36
I wouldn't go that far, considering we know nothing of the user's work pattern. But fanboys will be fanboys. – surfasb Dec 4 '11 at 22:23
Thank you. Good Idea -- I will try with a VM – user859955 Dec 7 '11 at 6:24
