Encrypting Your Data with the TPM (BitLocker)
<TPM security chip equipped models>
<BitLocker supported models>
On models with Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise, you can use BitLocker to
encrypt all the data on the built-in storage device.
Refer to Windows Help and Support for more information on the BitLocker settings and
operations.
To unlock the BitLocker-protected drive with a USB flash drive, follow these steps:
Note
With the default Sleep mode settings, the computer's state is saved to the dedicated
partition when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode. You, however, cannot encrypt
this partition with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption or other drive encryption features.
It is strongly recommended that you first recover the computer with the settings which
the dedicated partition is not created with to avoid leaving unencrypted data if you use
the drive encryption feature.
1. Turn on your VAIO computer and press the F2 key repeatedly until the VAIO logo
disappears.
The BIOS setup screen appears. If the screen does not appear, restart the computer
and try again.
2. Press the key to select the Security tab and change the Change TPM
or
State setting to Enable.
3. Press the key to select Boot and change the External Device Boot
or
setting to Enabled.
4. Change the boot device order to put Internal Hard Disk Drive in Boot Priority
before External Device.
5. Press the key to select Exit, select Exit Setup, and then press the Enter
or
key.
6. When the confirmation prompt appears after your VAIO computer restarts, select
Execute.
7. Refer to Windows Help and Support to enable BitLocker.
When you use Infineon TPM Professional Package and BitLocker
simultaneously, initialize the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) using Infineon TPM
Professional Package before enabling BitLocker.
8. Save a password on the USB flash drive in the recovery password save window.
Then, follow the on-screen instructions to restart your VAIO computer. After the
computer restarts, the BitLocker encryption starts.
Note
After you update the BIOS settings using VAIO Update, the BIOS settings are
restored to the default. In this case, you need to repeat the above steps.
It takes several hours to complete the BitLocker encryption.
Do not encrypt an external device containing the recovery password, such as a USB
flash drive, using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption.
