Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 on a GUID partition table (GPT) disk.
  • Then, you convert the GPT disk from the Basic disk type to the Dynamic disk type.
  • Later, you increase or reduce the size of the boot partition on the dynamic disk by using the Disk Management snap-in.

In this scenario, the system cannot start. When you try to start the system, you receive the following error message:

Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next.”
3. Click “Repair your computer.”
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

After you wake a Windows Vista-based portable computer from hibernation, you may receive the following error message:

Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Information
The system boot information has changed since BitLocker was enabled.
You must supply a BitLocker recovery password to start this system.
Confirm that the boot changes to this system are authorized.
If the changes to the boot system are trusted, then disable and re-enable BitLocker.
This will reset BitLocker to use the new boot information.
Otherwise, restore the system boot information.
ENTER=Continue
Operating System: Windows Vista

This problem occurs after you enable the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature on the portable computer and then put the computer in hibernation. This problem occurs even after you disable and then re-enable the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, as suggested in the error message.
