It is recommended at the very least that
when enabling BitLocker on a system, a recovery password is set should the data on the
drive need to be recovered when none of the other authentication methods are available.
Hands-On Exercise: Preparing for and Installing BitLocker
One of the main requirements of BitLocker Drive Encryption is that you must have at
least two partitions on the system. The first partition is the active partition, otherwise
known as the system partition. This should be 1.5GB in size and formatted using NTFS.

Windows Server 2008 is installed on the second partition. This partition can be any size,
provided of course that it fits your Windows Server 2008 installation. In this exercise, we
will prepare for the BitLocker installation by creating the two required partitions using
the diskpart.exe command.
NOTE This exercise will erase the contents of the hard drive for the system on which you run it.
Make sure no important data resides on the hard drive before proceeding.

2. Select the language to install, time and current format, and keyboard or input
method, and then click Next.
