Bitlocker workaround

[volkslove]

Hi,

I would like to boot from the USB on my work computer.  The BIOS is locked by my company and the USB ports are inhibited.  I was hoping that plop would workaround this issue.  Normally when I boot up, before Windows 7 OS starts I have to enter a bitlocker password to access the C:\ drive, then the computer boots up. 

After following the install instructions, I am able to see the boot manager screen and when I choose to boot from plop, the screen then changes to the bitlocker password prompt as normal and after I enter the password to unlock the HDD i get the "plpbtldr.bin: Error loading plop.bin" error.

The computer also does not have an internal CD-ROM drive attached.

I have success in running plop from my personal computer running Windows XP using the identical installation procedure. 

I believe the issue has to do with bitlocker and access to the C:\ drive?  I was wondering if anyone else has encounter a similar issue.
