  • 1.  Winpe 2.0 and PGP for Windows 7 64bit

    Posted May 12, 2011 06:44 PM

    I am trying to create a winpe 2.0 recovery USB key for Windows 7 64bit OS, I am using PGP WDE version 10.1.1 have I used the KB http://supportimg.pgp.com/pgp_pe/Tech_Note_Customizing_%20the_PE_for_PGP_Whole_Disk_Encryption_july_08.pdf but this is for x86 OS's, How do I create one for x64 OS's I have copied all the files that are required from location specified in the KB on Windows 7 64bit OS, but one of the files  %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\pgpsdknl.dll was located in the Windows\WoW folder and not System32 as this a 64bit OS, not sure this may be part of the problem.

    When I created the Winpe x64 USB key which I formatted as NTFS, I am able to boot from it and get to the command prompt, put when I type  Pgpwde --enum, I get error saying something like The system is not supported, I checked the directory and the Pgpwde file is there.

    Thanks

    You can't use 32 bit drivers in a 64 bit WinPE.  PGP/Symantec haven't released native 64 bit drivers for WDE (to the best of my knowledge) - therefore you will not be able to use a 64 bit WinPE with WDE.
