Post your version of Win 7. Not all versions have bitlocker--Ultimate and Enterprise do, but Home Edition doesn't. The diagnostic partition should have no effect on bit locker. Read this.
Follow the links on that page to see how to set up your hard drive for bit locker if you have Ultimate. You have to separate your personal data files from the system files. You cannot encrypt the whole drive or your computer would not start.
Windows Enterprise. TPM is turnedon and active. C drive (only drice on machine) is formatted with NTFS. All checks complete fine, and then when it tries to run the encryption (after bitlocker has run it's checks) I receive the message.
"BitLocker drive Encryption operating system drives must be formatted with NTFS file system in order to be encrypted. Convert the drive to NTFS, and thenturn on BitLocker."
I would not think this would matter, but Disk 0 is set as a Basic disk.
