  • 1.  PGP encrypted drive in alternate machine

    Posted Aug 11, 2012 02:09 PM

    I used PGP Desktop v10.1.1 to encrypt a hard drive on a W98 SE box, got rid of that box, and now want to use the drive as the primary drive in another W98 SE box.  Correct passphrase is entered then I get black screen with "Remove disks or other media.  Press any key to restart."  When I press the "any" key I see "bootguard" followed by a flashing underscore.  Nothing but CTRL-ALT-DEL works at this point.

    I see on the Advanced subscreen that a computer name and ID are recorded.  Makes me wonder if bootguard is preventing bootstrap in the second computer.

    Suggestions?

    You may need to decrypt that disk before moving it to the new machine, and then re-encrypt.  If this is no longer feasible, you can try using the WDE Recovery CD for the decryption.
