My first suggestion here would be to attempt this on another machine with our PGP software, where the drive in question is slaved with a USB adapter. Symantec Encryption Dektop may treat the drive differently when it is slaved through a USB adapter.
With any luck, you will see a password prompt and it will attempt to mount the partition.
If you are willing to try some of our common recovery procedures, they are available here :

I wil also summarize them for you below...
If you are familiar enough with opening a command prompt, open a command prompt to the following location,
and attempt the following command.
pgpwde --enum
Entering this command displays a list of disks
Type pgpwde --status --disk 1. In the command, substitute the PGP WDE disk number listed in the previous step for the number 1 if it is different. The output of this command tells you whether the disk is still encrypted.
If you are able to see that the disk is there, and the partition is encrypted, you should be able to attempt this next command with that disk.
Type pgpwde --decrypt --disk 1 --passphrase {MYPASSWORDHERE}. This will start the decryption process. To view progress, type the status command listed in step 3 and note the Highwater number. This number will get smaller and smaller as the number of sectors encrypted decreases.
Can you paste your results here in the forum?
If you are not able to follow the above instructions,or if you are in a hurry and that does not get you anywhere, the next best option is to burn our bootg.iso file and boot with that iso file. It will attempt to find some backup encryption data that is hidden randomly on the drive. Make sure you burn the bootg.iso that matches your specific verion of Symantec Encryption Desktop.
The information that I have described above is excerpted from the above article (Section 3 of Drive Encryption Diagnosis and Recovery here :
SECTION 3 - Using Recovery Disk Images (bootg.iso or bootg.img)
Warning: Use of the recovery disks should be used as the last step when attempting recovery. Should there be a power loss while decrypting with the recovery disk, the result to the disk could be fatal and non-recoverable. It is also highly recommended to use the latest recovery disk available for the version you are running.
Recovery Images can be obtained by following the links below:
