Emergency uninstall - SGE201: Hard Disk error

paxel

Hello.

I got a hard drive encrypted with SGE4.3. After physical test I found one bad sector. I made 1:1 copy of entire HDD (bad sector around LBA 64000000) to new hard drive (original 80GB IDE 2.5'', copy 80GB SATA 3,5'' and 80GB IDE 3,5''). I don't have original laptop, just hard drive to save data from. Also I have username and password (for system account).

Original HDD is still passing authentication but fails to boot into Windows. Cloned HDD does exactly the same so I guess it is properly cloned.

When trying to run emergency decryption on the copy, after authentication SGEASY returns error SGE201: Hard Disk error.

I tested hard drive and it is Ok, no physical problems. What could be the problem? I don't want to try to run it on original hard drive as it would most probably fail due to bad sector.

Thanks for any advise.

Paul

    Hi Daniel.

    Thanks for reply.I already found informations from link you provided, and indeed I boot emergency tools before PBA, using emergency boot CD from my customer, also tried tool from here: http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/107623.html

    I would try using BartPE to, but first of all I need to ask my customer to provide me with installation disc to extract Bart_PE plugin from it (is there any other source I could get it from?).   

    Does it make any difference if version used on that HDD is 4.30.0 while article says about 4.50.x?

    Regards
