How do I access encrypted eSATA drive on other PC?

You have a policy at work that encrypts all hard drives. In order to get access to it you'll need to have SafeGuard installed and have the encryption key used to encrypt it assigned to your keyring on the computer you are using. To decrypt a drive you have to be assigned decryption rights first, then in windows explorer you can right click any hard drive and the decrypt option will be available. If that isn't possible you'll need to take the drive to your safeguard administrator and have it decrypted. Depending on your work environment needs you may be able to ask to have just the system drives to be encrypted not all hard drives but rest assured it's your security policy that's asking for all hard drives to be encrypted Alternatively there is a way to put in an encryption exception for usb devices so any hard drive attached to that device won't be encrypted in the future (but you'll still have to decrypt it anyway). With the download for SafeGuard there is a the port auditor tool, you can use it to profile a machine without safeguard installed and do a profile on USB ports and connected devices. It will create an XML file, add those to your white list in the safeguard console and it won't be encrypted anymore once you decrypt it.
