I uninstalled safeguard easy 4.50.3 using the emergency CD iso image available here and removed all remaining software thru control panel add/remove programs but the computer will not boot from my XP CD or my BART PE CD. Both give the same blue screen of death error telling me possible virus and should do a chkdsk. Have done several chkdsk /l /f /v /x as I have seen recomended here and have given up and done a /r. Can this be fixed short of a low level format?
PS - HOW I GOT HERE - Before doing this, Diskeeper would not defrag the drive. Kept saying a chkdsk was scheduled (but it wasn't) and it should be carried out first. Doing a plain jane chkdsk c: would bring up different errors every time, and end with the message I should do a /f. After doing about 6 chkdsk with various other /f additions I gave up and decrypted the drive (6 hours). My intent was to run chkdsk from the recovery console, but now since it won't boot off the CD I can't get to the recovery console.
PSS - Was all that diskeeper and chkdsk nonsense normal for a safeguard easy encrypted drive? I'm begining to suspect it is.
