NO INIT, Press any key to restart or exit

Hi all. We have a HP laptop with the Sophos Safeguard installed. The HDD was encrypted worked for few moths.

Now we are runing into a major issue:

Upon booting up, we get this error:

Sophos Safe guard is staring.

Please wait...

No Init

Press any key to reboot,

or switch off the system now.

When we hit the key: I got no reponse from the laptop.

Please help.

Thanks.

  • One more thing.  I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but I backed up an image of the problem machine and pushed it down to a new machine.  Of course it seems as though the hard drive is encrypted and Sophos is still on it.  Will this be OK to do or should I just do a fresh machine and install the Sophos Encryption?

    If this is OK to do, is there an easy way to change the computer name when you log on the POA?  It has the old computer name at the top of the logon screen.  Just curious.
