XP frozen on 99% of encryption

nordiii

 Hello Everyone,

I made a new installation of XP SP3 on a  new WD 2000GB WD20EARS (in Alignment formatted) + 1TB all looks fine.

WD20EARS

C: = 60GB

D:= 1.7TB

E:= 1TB

After installation SGE 5.5 first encryption starts running on partition D: , about 80 hours later encryption status is 99% on partition D:  and PC is frozen. Partition C: and E: is unencrypted

After reboot (power off) PC encryption status is 99% and PC frozen again

If I reboot in safety mode and use the windows explorer PC frozen again, only if I use the IE I have access to the HD and I can save my files.

OK format and new installation :smileyvery-happy:

E:= 1TB

After installation SGE 4.5.3 first encryption starts running on partition C:  later partition D.

I think SGE shows the HD’’’’s capacity wrong ... something with 7625422MB (3TB about 3000000MB)

About 80 hours later encryption status is 99% on D:  and PC is frozen, same as before. Partition E: is unencrypted.

After reboot (power off) PC encryption status is 99% and PC frozen again

I get access to my HD’’’’s only in over IE in safety mode to save my install files.

I used SGE 4.5.3 on the same hardware with 2x 1TB HD’’’’s before without any problems.

Any ideas what’’’’s wrong?  I don’’’’t want try the right settings and  install and format my PC for the next few weeks ... it’’’’s boring. :smileymad:

Maybe it’’’’s better to install XP on the 1 TB HD and use the 2 TB for data only?

Thanks for your help

    Hello Dan,

    Thanks for your reply!

    I have investigated the problem some weeks looks like a XP and hardware issue.

    OS Win XP
    I tested three WD 2TB HDs I cannot format (no quick format) any HD under XP successful.
    Checked it on four laptops and two desktop PC, via USB, eSATA, SATA all unsuccessful.


    OS Win7
    With Win7 I can format (no quick format) the WD 2TB HDs successful
    But later I get an i/o error and I lose my drive.
    Probably Asus P5W DH Deluxe support 2.2TB only (not 3TB)


    So, I waste a lot of time for nothing and rollback to 2x 1TB HDs
    It doesn’’’’t look like a SafeGuard Easy issue.

    Thanks for your help
