  • 1.  PGP Encrpytion for two OS (Win XP & Win 7) on one Device

    Posted Aug 12, 2013 02:57 AM

    Hey there. I'm new in here.

    I have a question. I have here a Device which is encryptet with PGP. Now my client want to have dualboot on his device.

    Is it even possible to install 2 OS (Windows XP is installed and he want to get Windows 7 too)

    If it's possible is there a "how to" to to run it with 2 OS

     

    Kind regards

    Andy

    Please note that you need to have all the dual-boot setup in place and working before encryption.  As with any encryption product, a backup of critical data (stored off the machine) is recommended before encypting.

    If you will be accessing the encrypted drive from both OSes, they will each need to have the Symantec Encryption Desktop installed.  

    Please also be aware that future versions of the encryption product might not support dual booting.
