Hi
I have my laptop, which has been provided for me at work. It comes with PGP WDE 10.2.0 MP3, which is progressing nicely and encrypting everything.
I just paused the encryption process as I forsee some issues with reading the disk, as I tried this on an already encrypted disk earlier and had some bad crashes and load errors. the reason I just got my computer reinstalled, is that the C-drive became too corrupted to even start. It may not be related to me fiddeling with the Windows 2012 evaluation VHD, but the correlation is strong.
This is what I have:
1 laptop with a 500GB drive, split into 3 partitions:
C: (100GB)
D: (300GB)
F: (100GB)
C: contains my provided Windows 7 and is currently 25% encrypted.
D: contains my Win2012.vhd file, which has been inserted in the Windows bootloader and can be selected on system start. Unencrypted.
F: is unused. Unencrypted.
Currently the C-drive is partly encrypted and Windows server 2012 can't read the filesystem anymore and lists the partition as RAW format. When booted in Windows 7, all is well.
When the D-drive become encrypted, the Windows server 2012 VHD will be encrypted too.
* Will Windows 2012 stop working?
* Can I prevent it from not working?
* Is there any drivers that Windows 2012 needs to read the file system better?
* What if I install PGP WDE on the Windows 2012? Will it make any difference?
* Can I install it after the disk is encrypted?
* Should I stop worrying?
