  • 1.  Windows 7 Recovery with Endpoint Encryption Recovery CD

    Posted Sep 07, 2010 06:03 PM

    I am new to Endpoint Encryption. I have a laptop with full system encryption that is coming up with a boot sector problem. This is a Windows 7 64bit laptop. Normally I would boot off the Windows 7 install cd and run the bootrec.exe to rebuild the boot sector on Windows 7 but since it is encrypted I can't. I have read that you can use the Endpoint Encryption recovery cd but the one that I have looks to be WinPE 1.0 (WinXP). Does anyone know how you can do this for this Windows 7 PC?

    Hello,

    What version of SEE are you running? The more recent recovery ISO is Windows Vista (WinPE2) I think... I would give that a try first. You can build a windows 7 version if you definately have to have that. Its a bit long winded but a one off task so you might find it useful - this explains it.. http://blog.brianleejackson.com/deployment-image-servicing-and-management-dism-winpe-3-0-boot-environment

    Alternatively one thing you could try is booting from the SEE access CD (not recovery) which gives you access to the encrypted disk, then swap CD to the Windows 7 one and get access to the tools...

    Hope that helps

    I have a WinPE 3 cd. What do I need to do to get SEE recovery on it. Is there files I can move over to the WinPE 3 cd to get SEE recovery to read the disk in WinPE 3.0?

    Somewhere in the installer folders there is a word document called something like 'How to customise a WinPE disk' - that should explain it all. If not post back and I'll dig out the instructions I wrote a while ago!
