Hi, got this computer, i want to use Win7 Bitlocker, but when i try to enable it i got a error "TPM module is required", i thought i had it becouse when i bought the computer it had a "Secure Chip" but maybe it is not the same? Or i might be missing some drivers maybe, anyone knows?

Check in BIOS if SC is disabled...

cant find any thing called like that in bios, only thing i found is to set boot password and set BIOS HD encryption

I already have a password protected boot and BIOS encryption enabled in BIOS but still win7 does not see any "TPM" avalible

maybe my BIOS HD encryption is what Lenovo means with "Secure Chip" ?

In order to use BitLocker, you have to partition your hard drive correctly and have a compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) BIOS. More info here.
