Found a solution!
Long story short I took the laptop and installed Ubuntu. Then I installed Win 7 Enterprise, created a Fog image with this PC, and then used this to image the pc. Went to bitlocker it and it worked.
So what does this mean? Apparently I was not able to take a Win 7 Pro laptop, out of the box, install Win 7 Enterprise, and bitlocker it. Windows, for whatever reason, does not like an OS to OS change. I must not be getting a clean install of Win 7 Enterprise. And I did remember to format the partition(s).
Anyway, it took an unconventional approach to fix this problem.
