@Jeroen1322: Hop onto a Windows 7 or newer machine, disable BitLocker, make sure it's in a FAT32 format, then you should be good to go.

change FAT32 to exFAT though .... (unless you use old versions of windows XP)

I should have mentioned that i don't have acces to a Windows machine right now and it is FAT32

I dont think its possible the whole point of bitlocker is that it can only be opened by the OS it was designed for - windows

 

it is a windows only technlogy

 

EDIT - you should use something open like truecrpyt in the future

 Well you have no choice but to wait until you do then.

You cold use a virtual machine, but this will still require you to have access to a Windows OS to install in the virtual machine, to access the drive.

Yes, but I meant if the OP wants to use an encrypted memory stick but wants it to work between different platforms he can use that
