Can I remove/reinstall encrypted hard drive?

MIkeFarmer

I have a laptop running Sophos Safeguard 5.50.

I would like to remove the harddrive and install a new harddrive, and install WIndows 7 without Sophos.

Question: Later, if I re-insert the original Sophos-protected harddrive, will it still boot up and function as it was before?

Thanks,

Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I understood that you run one disk at a time, so swapping the harddrives should not impact the disk with the SafeGuard installation.

    When you change any BIOS settings (i.e. S-ATA operation modes etc) that might be required for the new installation, keep in mind that you swap those back to the original values if you put the original disk into the machine again.

    Regards,

    Chris
