I have a laptop running windows 7 ultimate. I have encrypted my drives using bitlocker. Now I have also installed lubuntu along with windows. But my encrypted drives are not visible in linux. Hence I need urgent help?

The only thing I've found that might help you is this. It's an experimental fuse driver that allows you to access BitLocker volumes. It's still in an alpha state, and it looks like you'll have to compile the code yourself. It also only allows read-only access, and some things might not work. I think it's your best bet, though. | |||

Bitlocker is a proprietary, closed-source drive encryption system only supported by Windows. You'll have to remove Bitlocker encryption if you want to access your Windows partitions from Linux. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-the-difference-between-disabling-BitLocker-Drive-Encryption-and-decrypting-the-volume ...for instructions on doing so. It would be advisable to have a backup of your data completed first. Once the drive is decrypted, you can use TrueCrypt instead; reading a System Encryption volume under linux isn't supported by default, but someone has figured out a work-around. See http://jan-krueger.net/development/truecrypt-system-drive-on-linux At the very least, review the TrueCrypt documentation and more specifically, http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/sys-encryption-supported-os Yet another option is PGP Whole Disk Encryption. See http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/pgp-whole-disk-encryption-dual-boot-linux-and-windows-xp | |||

You can access BitLocker partition under Linux using Dislocker, an opensource driver which is using FUSE (or not): http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/ For that, you need the file on a USB key (the one with the .bek extension) or the recovery password. | |||
