I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. How do I enable BitLocker encryption on a
USB flash drive? I do not currently use this technology for my hard drive (as
I did not know you needed multiple partitions and I am not about to
re-install Vista and 100+ applications), but I would like to encrypt a couple
of flash drives.

I'm pretty positive this is possible in Win 7, but is it possible in Vista
Ultimate? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions to comparably
encrypt a flash drive using Vista?

Thanks.

You could try the free TrueCrypt, http://www.truecrypt.org/

You can make an encrypted virtual drive out of a big file, and I
believe you can encrypt a whole drive (Of course, I mean partition).
 
Domenick - BitLocker creates a small partition without requiring
reinstallation of OS or programs.
