Howdy,
Need some feedback or solution to the following error when attempting to "recover" a PGPWDE disk PRIOR to decrypting so I can restore the WIN 7 OS on it. Thiss HDD has extremely controverial data on it.
Below are the results line by line when I attempt to run the recover command (at the CMD window (yes, I am running as Administrator), and yes, I do have the correct passsphrase. the thext in [brackets] is information not a result on command line
IOCTL_PGPWDE_SECTOR_READ failed:Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
ERROR: read failed, number of sectors searched so far: 1500320 [this is about 50% of the total # of sectors]
Found backup BGFS record on sector 3
IOCTL_PGPWDE_SECTOR_WRITE failed: teh system could not find the file specified.
Write MBR error.
Recovery failed!
Operation recover fisk failed:
Error code -11989: write failed
Now, I do not have acces to a PGP recovery CD ( or ISO image ) in which I can run furhter diagnostics etc etc.
I only have access to the command line commands in the PGP desktop directory.
I read somewhere that the PGPWDE01 file may be damaged.
I am un-able to locate the definition of error code -11989
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on what my options are.
I need to NOT load a new version of WIN 7 as the drive is NOT properly de-crypted. Yet, I need to keep the data intact on it and fix the PGP application/encryption in order to properly de-crypt and extract the data for analysis by our team.
If anyone can assist I would greatly apreciate it!
