I really really hate ignorant arses like the two people who flammed this guy for asking a question about something they know nothing about! They have nothing but time and no answers to any real issues on these forums. They make stupid statments like:
1. Oh that happened to me too
2. you are on the wrong board
3. You better be nice to me or "fill in the blank" (translation: I am a weak nerd who acts tough online but would normally get my arse kicked)
4. Maybe if you were not such a Dillwad "etc etc" (translation: I am really the dillwad with no real answer to your question so instead I will flame you to make me feel better)
5. Use a flash drive instead of the truely secure TPM technology (What a freakin idiot!)
To the original poster, I hope by now you have found your answer. Stick with the TPM and forget about the flash drive or dillwads who would use them!!!!
