SafeGuard Easy 4.50.3 - Encrypting Secondary Hard Disk

SiemensTech

Hello,

I am the onsite tech for a company, and just received a Dell M4600 laptop with 2 hard drives. The first (primary in the BIOS) is a 750GB SATA drive. The second one is a 128GB Samsung SSD occupying the MiniCard slot in the laptop.

Until we migrate to Windows 7 in a few months, we are using SGE 4.50.3 for all XP builds. I had no issue getting XP booted up on the SSD, but SGE will not install because that drive is not primary in the BIOS (see here for the exact description).

I was able to get around the SGE1061 error by turning off SATA0 in the BIOS, which is where the 750GB drive is connected. After another boot into XP, SGE installed without error and began encrypting the SSD. However, prior to that starting I enabled the 750GB drive again in hopes that it would see them both and encrypt them. Unfortunately this did not happen and the red key icon is only on C, not D.

Is there a way to encrypt the drive manually after the initial process completes?

    Hi SiemensTech,

    please mind that the partition information on systems installed with SafeGuard Easy 4.x must not be changed, once the installation of SGE completed. 

    For a test, you could try to open the SGE Administration and choose to encrypt the partition manually - make sure to backup your data before you try that.

    Regards,

    Chris
