I have had a PGP WDE external drive connected to my PC for several years. Each time I restart (from shutdown or restart) I am prompted to enter a passphrase.
I need to connect this external drive to another computer to transfer some files. The passphrase prompt is not appearing after every restart. It showed up several times yesterday but now it does not appear at all even after several restarts. When I go to the drive directly I receive a message that it needs to be formatted in order to access. I've encountered the "formatting" message on my old PC when I had failed to enter the passphrase so I know that it just needs that passphrase to be entered, I just can't figure out how to get to the prompt.
How to I get the system to activate the passphrase box?
