    So here the story, I've multiple HDD my main HDD where the os is installed (win 7 64b) is an ssd, I encrypted it with symantec encryption drive (the whole disk) and everything went well I've worked with it for couple of days, I've decided to encrypt my 2 others HDD After restarting I got an error, "windows boot manager" "Windows faild to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem 1: insert you Windows CD... 2: ... 3: click repair your comouter Status 0xc000000e the boot selection fails because a required device is inaccessible. Now I can't get to my computer I'm pretty stuck with my comp since its my main tool for work. What I've tried is: Disconnecting all the HDD except my ssd which contain the os (it did not work same result) I tried to press f8 before and after the putting the pass(it did not work same result) I tried to boot up a windows disc before putting the pass word and tried some how to repair(it did not work same result) I tried to boot from a live CD and see if I can backup but ofc the HDD shows 0 bytes I was wondering is that possible to boot a CD/USB which contains a recovery disc or a windows disc it self so he can fix that error I have read about a familiar issue that some one had 1 year ago he said something with MBR but in his case he installed 2 os which I didn't Anyway I'm pretty stuck as u can understand i cant work untill my pc will work again I need ur help Thanks BTW I wrote this post from a phone Another update, My ssd shows as 2 while I did not split them into 2 I included 2 pic about that

    Alil update, I've try to use the booth.iso from the installation folder which I backed up earlier incase this kind of problem will happen. I've use it on a USB with yumi multiboot as grub, first it showed press any key to continue which I did, i t was searching the pgpwde to restore/recovery and after couple of min it showed "cannot continue. Press any key to halt the system" Second update, I have disconnected all my HDD except my ssd and retry to do the process but this time is telling me could not recognize pgpwde installation on the disk unable to continue Hmm I miss a working day because of that I really need help Thanks P.SS I am afraid that one of the HDD had some windows folders inside because I took it from my old pc

    What version of Symantec Encryption Desktop do you have?  You should try accessing it using a recovery disk.  The iso files to burn to disk for 10.3.2 can be found here:
    https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH214378.html

    If you have an earlier version, let me know, or just do a search for PGP Recovery ISO and your product version, and it should come up pretty quickly.
