Drive Encryption

Hello
I like my new Probook 450 G2 and HP Client Security is awesome.
Start using HP Drive Encryption  and I encrypted C partition with OS Windows 8.1 64 - worked fine
I have problem with encrypting partition G. This is new fresh partition for my data, size of partition is 350 GB NTFS.
HP Drive Encryption trying encrypt G partition but there is no information how many % is done, there is only grey line with information next to it like encrypting in progress. I left laptop on for last 4 days and nothing change.
Version of software: 8.6.7.27
Cryptographic Engine: 6.1
FIPS - Compliant
How can I fix this? I realy want cncrypt my G partition.
I appreciate your help.

I want to replace my hardrive with a bigger one. I use symantec ghost to create an image of the old one. Put the new drive in my hp. ghost the image to it. When it is done and I try to boot, I get ecCode not found.  I've tried using the swdrecovery etc. no go. What I really really want to do is unencrypt my old drive. This drive encryption is a nightmare and it seems I am stuck with it??? Surely there must be away to get rid of this nuisance?Most likely the encryption doesn't match the drive specs so you would get a error. And what did you use to encypt the drive? And why did you encrypt the drive for? You need to redo the image again from the old drive but with the encryption removed so you can make another ghost image and then restore that image again to see if the problem goes away.

  • Bit locker drive encryption failed due to power failer and hard disk corrupted

    I ran Bitlocker drive ecryption drive D. My pc is windows 7 ultimate, while it was in progress of 1% due to power failer the encryption failed, when power resume the drive didn't showed the file format nor the size but it shows the size in disk management.
    It showed like this in My computer
    I do Have the recovery code password and back of recovery password so I ran the "manage-bde-_unlock D:-rp[my code ]

    then I used commang "repair-bde -force D:I:-rp[my rp] and following info showed but it stucked in 1% about 8 hours, and there was no increase in the pecentage
    I also connected the hardisk to mac but all othe partation showed but didn't showed the encrypted one.
    I had lots of memorable picture and other backups so any one kindly help me to get out of this problem. Thanks for help

    Hi,
    The BitLocker encryption and decryption processes can be interrupted by turning the computer off, and it will resume where it left off the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
    Bitlocker-repair (repair-bde)  tool
    can't repair a drive that failed during the encryption or decryption process.
    In addition, could you please explain a bit for what drive you are trying to deal with? external one?
    When you first restart your PC, have you seen any signs that indicate that the encryption is in process?
    Regarding your scenario, please take a look to see if the following articles could help here:
    Scenario 11: Recovering Data Protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption (Windows 7)
    Besides, when running manage-bde command, did we followed the steps mentioned in the below article?

  • Hard Drive Encryption Issue

     
    This is in regard to hard drive encryption issues in my USB Hard drive. I have Windows 7. I was encrypting my USB hard drive and
    was able to enter a password. However, I did not receive any prompt to save the Bitlocker recovery key.  During encryption process, I received an error. The encryption process was unsuccessful. However, now when I plug-in the hard drive, I receive the
    following message on the status bar:
    Application and Device Control rule Block writing to removable media. Unencrypted drive found (No_Encrypted_Found) has blocked edpa.exe trying to access Volume
    {e3901a75-f1ff-11e1-817c-806e6f6e6963 alpha-numeric number appearing here}
    When I try to open the drive, it asks for a password. When I enter the password, I am receiving the following error message:
    Bitlocker Drive Encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media
    being write-protected.
    I have read that Bitlocker repair tool can help resolve this issue.
    However, I just have the password that I had set to encrypt the drive and Bitlocker recovery key identification. Can this help to get access to my hard drive data  using the Bitlocker tool.

    Checked this ?

  • TrueCrypt 6.2 system drive encryption hangs system sometimes a day

    Hi,
    I use truecrypt for years with xp and vista - last with Vista and T500, a few weeks ago I installed windows 7 x64 rtm. Every thing works fine and so I checked step by step my usual installed apps and tools.
    I see win7 is not supported by truecrypt but seems to work fine. But sometimes (one or two a hour) my system hangs for about 10 to 40 seconds. So I decided to go step by step backwards and removed installed tools.
    Removing TC solved my problem. Has anybody seen the same (TC6.2 on Win7 ult. x64 using Lenovo T500 with Intel SSD)?
    best regards
      Ronny

    I have exactly the same problem, but with a HP Elitebook 2530p
    TrueCrypt 7.0a
    Windows 7 x64
    SSD drive, but had the same problem on my traditional HDD.
    The interval is somewhat longer for me, maybe a few times a day.
    And, just as you discovered, removing truecrypt system encryption resolves the issue. Wonder if it's an issue with just the system drive encryption thingy, or it affects all systems having encrypted volumes opened?

  • Drive encrypted using Bitlocker...encrypting backup on Server 2008

    I've seen this topic discussed a few times but with very little real explanation on how to do this. 
    I have several servers for several customers that now must be encrypted.  I've run a few tests with our own internal servers and one user server and the drive encryption goes off without a hitch.
    Encrypting their backups however is still an issue.  Usually they are setup with 2 drives, one on site, one off.  Obviously the one on site is a theft issue so it defeats the purpose of encrypting the server if there is an un-encrypted backup.
    Bit Locker to Go is an R2 feature, isn't it?  Plus when you setup a drive for Windows backup, it formats the drive so is Bitlocker even usable?
    The whole idea of encrypting their drives concerns me because of recovering the data/server after a crash.  We use encrypted online back up but the need to do a bare metal restore is the part that concerns me.  I even thought of adding a third drive to the mix just to be overly redundant(paranoid).
    What is the best way to handle this?  How does it work in the event of a server crash, how do you do a bare metal restore with a bit locker drive?
    Thanks

    You can bitlock a portable drive for Server 2012 R2 backup as follows:
    Using Essentials, the first time you use the drive
    1. Start the dashboard and go to the Storage Tab and select
    Disks
    2. Click on the new drive and add it to the backup. Give it a unique label. Backup will format it and remove the drive letter.
    3. Go to the start screen and start Administrative tools | Computer management
    4. Find Disk Management and scroll down to find your backup disk.
    5. Right click on the disk block and choose Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    Add a drive letter.
    6. Open This PC and right click on your drive. Choose
    Turn on Bitlocker.
    7. Give the disk a password and save or print the key. Choose to encrypt used space only.
    8. When Bitlock finishs encrypting the drive, click on the Manage Bitlocker link at the bottom of the progress screen. Find your disk and click the dropdown arrow. Click on
    Turn on Auto-unlock. (Auto-unlock greatly simplifies swapping disks. However, my experience has been it will not reliably unlock the disk after a restart or power failure. You may have to log in for the disk to be reconnected.)
    9. You can use Disk Manager  as you did before to
    Remove the drive letter. It can be handy for verifying the disk's status or distinguishing multiple disks, but you don't really need it.
    10. Close everything up. You are good to go. After this, the disk can be replaced using the normal procedures for swapping USB drives.

  • Bit Locker Drive Encryption of Windows Vista

    Have just downloaded the Bios Upgrade version 2.2 (QG40 BIOS_W220.exe), but I inadvertently omitted to turn the 'Bit Locker Drive Encryption of Windows Vista' off first, as Toshiba had advised.
    Is there any corrections I can make to rectify this omission and ensure the G40 and the software operate correctly?

    Thanks for your prompt reply Jeka-Nn. But I have several further questions before going too far with the suggestions as I am not familiar with software modifications.
    1. What am I actually trying to do overall by downloading and using the suggested application.? Can you give me some overall picture of what I am trying to do?
    2. Does this fix the problem without me having to make choices--is it self sufficient/self-installing?
    3. Will it return the system to its correct operational settings before I downloaded the Bios upgrade?
    4. I have downloaded the application suggested, but when I try to open the file it sends up a message that reads:
    Error; this installer does not contain any compressed files. To create a self extracting installation package (with embedded files) run:
    "TrueCrypt Setup.exe" /p
    When I press OK, it simply reverts to the downloaded list which has the TrueCrypt v7.0 included, but nothing else happens.
    What do I need to do to fully install the application?
    5. Are there any other steps /inclusions that I need to make to fully correct my 'stupidity'?
    Sorry about all these questions but you can see I am a raw beginner at this work.
    With thanks, rons

  • BitLocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key

    I have a Dell Optiplex 7010 running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Intermittently when booting the computer the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key Entry screen shows up. Most of the time I can power off the computer and then turn it back on and
    it loads Windows without that screen showing up. If powering it off and back on again doesn’t get me past the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key screen, I will enter the recovery key.
    I have already reimaged the computer, replaced the hard drive, cleared Bitlocker Cache in the BIOS and have updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    Any ideas to keep the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key Entry screen from showing up?

    Hi,
    I have already reimaged the computer, replaced the hard drive, cleared Bitlocker Cache in the BIOS and have updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    Did you mean you have re-install the OS? Did you use another clean image rather than capturing the old OS?
    Did you encrypt the OS partition?
    Please use below command to check the status:
    manage-bde -status
    If there is any volume is encrypted, use below command to turn it off:
    manage-bde -off C:

  • Diffuser missing from BitLocker Drive Encryption

    I couldn't help but notice on my Windows Server 2012 Essentials installation that the Diffuser options are gone from BitLocker Drive Encryption. This was a shocker. Since Windows Vista/Server 2008, the following four options have always been available:
    AES 256-bit with Diffuser
    AES 128-bit with Diffuser
    AES 256-bit
    AES 128-bit
    The default was AES 128-bit with Diffuser, but I always opted for the strongest, and changed it to AES 256-bit with Diffuser. I made this change after probing around Google and Bing to see if BitLocker with Diffuser provided stronger encryption than BitLocker
    sans Diffuser.  What I found supported the use of Diffuser as being the strongest, thereby making AES 256-bit with Diffuser the strongest encryption of the four settings.
    So to find Diffuser culled from BitLocker was a shocker, and made me lose a bit of respect for the technology. Why would you WEAKEN the product (BitLocker) by removing the stronger versions of the encryption?  This TechNet article is quite disappointing: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831713.aspx
    The article simply says, "The Diffuser option is no longer available to be added to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm" under the heading "Removed
    or deprecated functionality." There is ZERO explanation.
    I'm hoping someone can answer this, please. WHY would you take out the stronger versions of encryption in favor of leaving the weaker ones? Wouldn't it be more appropriate
    to deprecate the non-Diffuser variants and require the use of Diffuser?
    BitLocker was, and still is, a great technology, but it was just made quite a bit weaker with the release of Windows 8 and Server 2012.

    Hi Manoj,
    If I understand your answer, are you saying that the BitLocker options with Diffuser are actually WEAKER than those without it?
    It's always been my impression that FIPS aims for the highest possible security standards.  If FIPS-only environments allow BitLocker without Diffuser but disallow BitLocker when Diffuser is used, that would lead me to believe Diffuser actually weakens
    BitLocker.  Is this correct?
    I guess that as long as BitLocker with AES 256-bit encryption makes the FIPS federal government folks happy, then it's good enough encryption for me!
    Also, you mention crypto-acceleration hardware.  Where would I find this?  I'm guessing this is something found in newer servers, laptops and desktops?  Or maybe even tablets?  Would the new Microsoft Surface come with such capabilities?

  • I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted

    I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted.
    is there a way to stop it in the middle so it does not go through the whole process

    It's called, "FileVault." If there is no option to stop the process, then the best bet would be to wait until decrypting is finished. Otherwise you run the risk of borking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine how you can accidentally turn off FileVault.

  • Decrypt HP Client Security / HP Drive Encryption - or clone encrypted drive...

    Hi, I'm trying to clone my boot drive over to an SSD.  I have a 1tb boot drive and I just purchased a 512mb SSD (MSata Interface in Sata to MSata adapter in bay 2). I get an error in Acronis Clone Disk and I assume it is due to my boot drive and my 3rd drive (a 1tb Hybrid in an Optical to SATA adapter) both being encrypted with HP Client Security, so I tried unchecking the drives in HP Drive Encryption assumign that is the way to decrypt the drive so that I can clone it, resize partition and reencrypt.  If I can skip the decrypt/reencrypt please let me know. Client Security gives me this when I unselect the drives in Drive Encryption:

    This is an old post but I give my solution in case someone have the same problem
    Even certain HP technician can't give me an answer to this, I had to call to 2 different technician before receiving an indication to resolve my problem.
    So as you say you have to download Disktech, you can download it on the HP FTP server. 
    There's also a documentation on how to procede.

  • How to get rid of drive encryption?

    Hello, 
    I don't know if this is the right place to post this. If not, please redirect to me the appropiate place. I have a HP Elitebook Folio 9470m with Windows 7 Pro x64. Previous user configured Drive Encryption through HP Protect Tools. Everytime the laptop is turned on it asks for password before booting up into anything. I know the password but I want to get rid of this. I tried reformatting the C drive partition and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 but I still get the login screen for booting up. How can I get rid of this? Is this configured on the BIOS? If I reformat the whole hard drive, including the Master Boot Record, will that get rid of the drive encryption?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi:
    You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- Elitebook notebooks section.
    http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-HP-ProBook-EliteBook/bd-p/bsc-274#.U39_p_1OXGg
    I suggest you read the protect tools manual for your model at the link below and see if there is anything there for how to remove the drive encryption.  I am pretty sure you will have to remove it thru that program.

  • Can I do a full drive encryption?

    Hi All,
    When installing a fresh 2012 std, can I do a full drive encryption?
    Any performance hit?
    -T

    Actually, if you had read the link I posted, you would have found I was in error in regards to the lack of encryption during installation.  My experience with BitLocker was Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2.  A new feature in 2012/Windows 8 is drive encryption
    during installation.  That is on the link I posted.
    And, I don't know where you get the idea that it is not full drive encryption.  That is exactly what BitLocker is.
    Microsoft also provide EFS - encrypted file system.  That is a selective file encryption technology.  Sounds like you might have gotten that confused with BitLocker.  They are two, totally different things.
    As for installing it in a VM, that requires other steps.  BitLocker is hardware encryption, and a VM doesn't have any real hardware.  It is possible.  I think that is another new feature in 2012 Hyper-V.  Reading TechNet is likely to
    provide fewer factual errors than reading my post.  Sorry.
    Free advice is worth every cent.

  • Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available

    Hi all,
    We are running into some issues when attempting to configure BitLocker Drive Encryption through the BitLocker UI on Windows Server 2008SP2.
    On running the BitLocker configuration screen we are presented with a message stating that
    ‘Your system volume is not configured correctly to allow you to use BitLocker Drive Encryption. 
    Critical BitLocker Drive Encryption system files are not available’
    We believe this issue may have been caused during a recent hardware migration using the DoubleTake Move software as we encountered a similar issue with the Windows Backup utility not seeing any available HDDs.
    Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and aware of any potential fix?

    I think it should be supported on Windows Server 2008 as it is supported on Windows Vista.
    Can you check whether BdeHdCfg.exe is present in System32 folder. If not can you copy the BdeHdCfg.exe installer from higher version of OS and copy it to the system32 folder on Windows Server 2008 and then run the command with the administrative rights. 
    NOTE : Make sure to change the directory to %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32
    Before running the command.

  • •Best External Drive Encryption Software????

    Hi,
    I need to find a good external firewire drive encryption software, any recommendations? I have gigs of legal files that must be encrypted but with a VERY stable program.
    Thanks,

    Disk Utility makes AES-256 images which can be put on external hard drives. Of course the power of encryption also depends on the quality of your password. If you use anything that might be found in any language in the password, that won't work. Mixing numbers and letters without vowels is the best way to construct passwords. Mixing cases helps too.
