  • 1.  PGP WDE Windows 7 resize partitions

    Posted Dec 18, 2015 05:11 AM

    PC with Win7 Pro 64Bit

    Encryption Desktop powered by PGP Technology 10.3.2 MP10[Build 21165] (PGP SDK 4.2.1)

    1 physical HDD with 2 partitions on it (1 for Windows, 1 for Data) -> entire disk encrypted

    can I use resize partition from within Windows control panel without decrypting and / or deinstalling Encryption Desktop?

    Hi,

     

    As you already encrpyt the entire hard drive. you need to decrypt the hard disk first before you repartition your hard disk.

     

     

    "If you want to re-partition a drive that has been encrypted with PGP WDE, you must first decrypt the drive. After you have decrypted the drive, you can then partition the drive and re-encrypt the partition(s). "

     

    Quoted from PGP Guide page 128.
