Sorry, quite right, you don't have mates do you

Certainly not! I wouldn't know what to do with it.

[Martian]

If it was not limited, you'd give you login details to your mate would'd you? Then you might have another spare and give it to another mate!

I imagine the only people who would do that are those that take portable HDD's to work and then post on public forums asking how to disable BitLocker 

Streaming data costs money, vasts amount as it happens.

Absolutely, so I can't imagine it being all that popular until mobile service providers start allowing realistic usage amounts for their customers.

It was the on-board HDD actually 

Still like to know how too, its a pointless feature 

Actually SkyGo is a massive hit, those "unlimited" (but have 1GB usually) tariffs are taking a hit! What with streaming video, free IM over data too, Operators are non too happy

My bad, it was portable! 

I did actually want to patch the onboard, as well. Makes transferring items at home a right PITA.

Cheers for link, will investigate that

I'd be careful doing that if I were you, I can't imagine your bosses being too impressed if they catch you trying to break the security they have put in place.

Very true.

My previous HP Elitebook crapbook was taken away to be bitlockered, hard drive gave up few days later. Speaking with one of the techies who was doing the roll out, said they had a 4 in 10 failure rate 

On the 3rd hard drive, mine "escaped" this install. Sadly on the Win7 roll out, I got it again.

I can see why they put it on, but then again, I've got dropbox, if I wanted to transfer out any valuable info, I'd just drop it into one of its synced folders.

Guess it protects against your average chav getting access if you loose laptop on a train
