    Hello All,

    I have a computer with two encrypted partitions. (drive C:\ for operating system and driver D:\ for my data).

    I had installed some patches from Microsoft (windows updates) and after that my operating system crashed.

    Due this problem, I had to rebuild the operating system on C:\ again keeping the partition D:\ with my data.

    After the installation I lost my access to my partition D:\ and I had do install the PGP WDE again to access my data, so it not occurred, my partition D:\ is still encrypted and it´s not appearing on the PGP WDE console and now I cannot decrypted it to access my data again, and when I try to check the partition D:\ on Disk Management it is appearing as RAW requesting all the time to format it.

    I have tried to connect this disk in another machine but no success. The PGP only request the passkey for letter C:\ and not for letter D:\.

    Someone have a magic solution to help me?

    tks
