Recovering data on HDD running Safeguard Easy v4.40.0

ItsAllGood

Hi,

I need to recover data that is currently on a hard disk that was installed in a laptop running safeguard easy v4.40.0.

The laptop is no longer working, but i require access to the files that are on the hard disk.

Is there anyway to recover the data by connecting it to another computer using an external hard drive case?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    What you might try is Take a PC, please note that its contents will be gone after this operation Restore the correct SafeGuard Easy kernel to that PC Switch the PC off and connect the drive Boot from the emergency CD. If the drive is recognized, an emergency decryption would also decrypt your drive. If it is not: Take a PC, please note that its contents will be gone after this operation. Restore the correct SafeGuard Easy kernel to that PC Switch the PC off and build the drive into the PC. Boot from the emergency CD. If the drive is recognized, an emergency decryption would also decrypt your drive. As the emergency decryption will decrypt also the drive belonging to the PC, which wasn't encrypted, or with another key, in the first place, it's contents will be just as scrambled as after a normal encryption. So you'd need to reinstall it. If neither works, you better have another backup of the data.

    Hi there,

    as already mentioned there are mutliple recovery options; however, before taking any actions please be so kind and create a copy of the drive (must be sector to sector copy incl. bad sectors as well - maybe you want this to be done by a professional company) since you might have only one shot to recover the data (depending on the actual situation which you haven't described in detail).

    Actually I would highly recommend to first open a ticket with local support to double check the options to be sure.

    Regards

    Dan

    First question, do you have another laptop shell (same make/model) that you can put the hard drive into? If so, you should be able to boot the machine using BartPE and have access to the files on the hard drive.

    Here's some info from another post on 911cd.net:

    Return the phone if possible, you don't want anything to do with a device that is jailbroken. Buy one that is not jailbroken, or if not, unjailbreak the one you have. Due to the fact it was hacked you may need to restore in Recovery Mode to recover iPhone data
