I wont post the steps, BUT there are seveal links i used to figure it out,
to use on a REAL (non-virtual) NON TPM computer. You can take it from there, as i did.

If you have Ultimate or Enterprise Vista you can get a TOOL that will do ALL
the work of setting up the partitions..etc.
It was simple enough..

Now what if you do not have a TPM, but you would like to use Bitlocker Drive Encryption?
No problem, BDE is supported on machines without TPM. The only tricky part is that you cannot enable it using the GUI. In Control Panel (where you would normally enable Bitlocker), you'll see the following:
So, how do you enable bitlocker then?
You will have to use manage-bde, a cscript tool that works with Bitlocker through the WMI interface.
This is what you do:
Open a Command Prompt as administrator! (Rightclick the cmd shortcut in the Start menu and choose "Run as administrator".)
cscript manage-bde.wsf -on C: -sk h: -rp -rk f:
Command Explanation
-on C: Enable BDE on drive C:
-sk h: Create a startup key and save it on drive h:
Drive h: will normally be a USB key
-rp Create a recovery password
-rk f: Create a recovery key and save it on drive f:
Drive f: can be a USB key, hard drive, network drive
Save the numerical recovery password in a save place!
Insert your USB drive.
Restart your computer for a hardware test.
Use manage-bde -status to check whether the test was successful. If it was, encryption will begin. You can use the same command to keep track of the encryption progress.
