Here is an issue I met today.
Environment:
- Windows XP 32bits
- PGP Desktop 10.3.0
- One HDD in the system
- 4 partitions, C(boot), D(encrypted), E,F
I encrypted partition D weeks ago, and it worked well until this morning.
The computer boots without Bootguard showing (or flashly skipped). The partition D can't be accessed and it is prompted like "This partition need to be formatted.". I can't find partition D in PGP Disk window, and only C,E,F is listed. But in Windows Disk Management, the partition D is shown no filesystem and working fine.
PS: I have the passpharse.
The following text is the output of several pgpwde commands
C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --enum C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --info --disk 0 C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --status --disk 0 C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --list-users --disk 0 C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --stop --disk 0 -p ****** C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Desktop>pgpwde --decrypt --disk 0 --partiti |
There is some important files in partition D. ReInstallation PGP Desktop and re-instrument has been tried.
But I havn't try data recovery softwares. I don't think they will work for encrypted partition.
Is any possibility I can get my files back? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
