  • 1.  PGP Command Line Help, looking to Encypt(complete encrypting) a HDD

    Posted Aug 03, 2012 12:33 PM

    PGP Dektop Windows UI keeps stopping/starting/stopping when I get to about 79% of a 500 Gb Disk, When the UI is running it is crishing my laptop (which is an i7 with 8GB of RAM)

    Can I use the command line to finish the encyption, I have tried yet cant find the right combinations to get the job done.

     

    Any Advice would be appreciated...

    Fred

    This is a question about PGP WDE so I am moving this thread to the appropriate forum.

    David is WDE the "Windows" version forum, if so my real desire is to complete the encyption (or start over if I have to) from the command line

    PGP Command Line and WDE are 2 different products, and WDE has its own command line, but that is not PGP Command Line; it's confusing I know :)

    Anyway, have you attempted to decrypt using the GUI then re-attempt encryption through the CLI?  Are you 100% sure the passphrase is correct? (had to ask) 

    If you cant decrypt via GUI can you decrypt via CLI?  If you get errors can you reattempt the command adding the --verbose switch too.
