Hi.<br />
<br />
It will not hurt to simply try it. Even if it won't work, that will do no harm to the disk.<br />
I am experienced only with symantec encryption desktop 10, with that product, you can do that, it will ask for a password as soon as the disk is connected.

HI,<br />
<br />
I have a laptop which has a corrupt Windows install but encrypted with Symantec Endpoint Encryption 8.0.1 Full Disk edition.<br />
<br />
It was encrypted by a previous IT company and we do not have any media for the software.<br />
<br />
I need to ideally slave the disk onto another PC to get the data off it and then wipe the disk and rebuild.<br />
<br />
How do i do this?<br />
<br />
We use truecrypt and that allows you to plugin a slave unit with the relevant password and open it up.<br />
<br />
Can i use another laptop which is encrypted using the same Symantec software?<br />
<br />
thanks

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
