  • 1.  PGP on iMac No disc listed to encrypt

    Posted Sep 28, 2015 02:25 PM

    Hello, I am having a problem with Mac Yosemite running Bootcamp. PGP 10.3.2.MP10 installed but when I go to encrypt the the drive, there is no drive available to encrypt. The iMac has a fusion drive if that makes a difference.

    Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Symantec Drive Encryption no longer supports Bootcamp after Apple made changes to it in Mavericks.  Fusion drives are also not supported.

    Your drive may also have been converted to Core Storage during an OS upgrade, which is also not a supported configuration for Encryption Desktop.

    Lastly, if another encryption algorithm is detected as in use on the drive, the drive will not appear.  Typically, this occurs with OS-based encryption that is turned on either by an OS update (in my experience I have seen this on OS X a few times), or preset as enabled by default (more often on Windows).
