BSOD, pull HDD to transfer files to new comp, can't get by PGP Encryption

  • 1.  BSOD, pull HDD to transfer files to new comp, can't get by PGP Encryption

    Hello,

    My Windows 7 computer decided to give out when I booted up and gave me the BSOD with unmountable boot volume. No workaround to fix. So had our company tech pull the hard drive to get the files off of it, however he said he can't get by the PGP encryption. Is there any way to get by so I can retrieve my files and not send it off to try and get fixed?

    What's been tried so far?  The below article discusses slaving the encrypted drive to another macine that also has SED installed, and using that to decrypt:
