[Reader-list] Dual Boot Not Trusted, Rejected By Vista SP1

[Anivar Aravind]

"Welcome to our first real taste of Trusted Computing: With Vista
Enterprise and Vista Ultimate, Service Pack 1 refuses to install on
dual boot systems. Trusted Computing is one of the many things that
got cut from Vista, but traces of it remain in BitLocker, and that is
the problem. The Service Pack patch to your system will invalidate
your Trust chain if you are not running the Microsoft-approved
Microsoft-trusted boot loader, or if you make other similar unapproved
modifications to your system. The Trust chip (the TPM) will then
refuse to give you your key to unlock your own hard drive. If you are
not running BitLocker then a workaround is available: Switch back to
Microsoft's Vista-only boot mode, install the Service Pack, then
reapply your dual boot loader. If you are running BitLocker, or if
Microsoft resumes implementing Trusted Computing, then you are S.O.L."
