File Share Encryption

I have a BMR back up of my dell Latitude, the disk went south so I put a new HD in and rean my DR disk which repartitiond the disk to its pervious setting and wrote the MBR back to the disk. The backup is unencrypetd so after restoration I can put the disk into another machine and see all the files no problem but I cant put i back in my laptop and get it to boot.

Now when I boot the disk it just boots to the bootgard prompt an hangs.

I tried booting to Windows XP SP3, which is the OS, and fixing the mbr however following attempting that the system will boot but just enough to tell me that the windows\system32\config\system file is corrupt or not accessable.

I think I need to restore again and somehow un-istrument the MBR but when I boot to the boot CD Version 10.1.2 {build 50} which is the PGP version I get 0x0000000008 error basically telling me I cannot access the device.

I tried booting to another version of the boot disk which does not give me that erro but just says it is looking for a PGPWDE installation and eventually just says it cant continue and hit a Key to reboot.

My question is there a way I can create a simple boot disk that will load the proper drivers and allow me to execute the PGPWDE uninstrument from the command line. The ISO that is created with the PGP REcovery CD creates two files one for boot and another with the goodies in it. This is no help at all because it does this check first then blows up.

I never get a chance to  get to the command line to run the command.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Build a winpe recovery CD using this KB article:

once you have built the winpe recovery CD. Burn that iso to disc and boot off it. it will put you into a command prompt where you can issue pgpwde commands.

I would try:

pgpwde --uninstrument --disk 0

I hope Ben's post provided the solution to this.  If it did, it would be helpful if you show this is resolved by using the Mark As Solution option on his post.
