  • Before you completely freak out, it's ok... your data is (most likely) not encrypted, which means that even if the OS is toasted, you should still be able to copy your data off of the drive.

    There is a tool that works with SafeGuard Enterprise / Easy v5.50 called sgnrollback.  This tool was designed for cases like yours, where the POA doesn't boot or there is some other problem after initial installation.  Sophos has a document that documents how to use the rollback tool.  Here's the link to the PDF:

    I have never used this tool, so I really don't have any pointers for you, but just in case, I would definitely suggest booting from a WinPE disc and backing up any important data to an USB flash drive or external hard disk.
