    Be advised, that if you are planning on taking advantage of Lion's full disk encryption via FileVault 2, YOU MUST update your Boot Camp drivers on your Windows partition FIRST, or else you'll get blue screens and reboots.

    I found this out the hard way. The method I used to fix it, temporarily, was to remove two drivers in the Windows/system32/drivers folder: AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys. Either delete or rename them. These drivers cause trouble when Windows attempts to mount the encrypted HFS+ volume.

    The better and more official method is to update BC to 4.0, which you can do by downloading the 4.0 BC software through the Boot Camp Assistant in Lion, burning it to a CD or flash drive, and installing it in Windows before using FV2.

    If you've already encrypted, you can boot into Safe Mode and install Boot Camp 4.0 that way, but you'll have to start the Installer service: [Help] How can I run Windows Installer in safe mode ? - MSFN Forum
