  • 1.  Remove PGP encryption

    Posted Nov 01, 2011 07:21 PM

    I have been using PGP pro desktop for years.  I installed a new server using Microsoft SBS 2011.  I contacted Symantec and asked whether or not PGP was compatible with SBS2011 and was informed that it was not.  I am now trying to remove the program but it informs me that there are encrypted disks still in the system.  I scanned the disks for encryption and the scan found none.  I have 2 drives on that computer that were part of a raid configuation.  I discovered that the raid software had stopped working in January of 2011 and was relieved that I had no disk failure.  That second disk is now called drive V.  It did not occur to me that the mirror imaging would encrypt two of the three partitions just the same as on my boot disk which of course it did.  I deleted the two extra partitions on drive V without decrypting them first.

    The fact of the matter is that there are no instances on encryption on the two disk drives yet the software thinks there are.  I need to remove the software.  How do I accomplish this?

    You can use the command line usage in this Knowledge Base Article to assess the status of your disks.  If you confirm that no disk is encrypted, but that one is instrumented, you can use this Knowledge Base Article to uninstrument the disk.  Do not uninstrument a disk unless you have confirmed that it is not encrypted.
