I have a machine that was upgraded from Win7 Pro to Win7 Ultimate.  I did this to utilize Bitlocker but when trying to configure Bitlocker it will not see the flashdrive.  Is there something more that I need to do since this is an upgraded edition?

This is a workstation without a TPM Chip.

How do I configure BitLocker after I upgrade a machine to Win7 Ultimate?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
