  • 1.  guardian edge recovery cd

    Posted May 03, 2011 10:57 AM

    From what i understand guardian edge is now Endpoint encryption, so excuse me if i place this in the wrong section.

     

    I'm running guardina edge 9.5.1 and I have 2 issues. One is the windows install is broken and in trying to fix it i created problem 2. I broke the MBR and now guardian edge preboot won't start.

    I've read with the recovery cd i can decrypt the drive as a slave and get the data off, how do i get this cd? and how do i use it?

    finally got my hands on the disk, new problem.

     

    when i boot into the access or recovery disk it reads "before the guardian edge hard disk access utility can run, guardian edge hard drisk must be fully installed and configured"

     

    what can i do about this?

    The new 6X20 series Latitudes from Dell need to have the SATA BIOS set to AHCI.  Try changing the setting.

    If you broke the GE MBR, I am not sure that is recoverable. If the GE recovery cd cannot see the encrypted file system, it definitely wont be able to decrypt it.

    Unfortunately, you may be out of luck.

    Use Testdisk to recover the partition. This might help anyone having this problem.

     

    Error: Blue Screen Error: Unmountable_boot_volume

     

    Solution:

    Step 1:Create a new log

    Step 2:Proceed (Select local Hard Drive)

    Step 3:Select Intel partition.

    Step 4:Analyze current partition structure.

    Step 5:Quick search

    Step 6:Answer No (N) for Vista partition.

    Step 7:Make sure [WinXP] is *=primary bootable and [Data] is P=Primary.

    Step 8:Highlight the *-Primary bootable partition

    Step 9:Select [Write]

    Step 10:Confirm partition write [Y]

    -Reboot
