Hi. I'm evaluating Sophos SafeGuard for a customer and need some more details about the product.
- Does the current version of SafeGuard for Mac encrypt the Windows Boot Camp partition as well? I saw release notes from an earlier version that said this was not possible.
- Some of the customer MacBooks are Windows-only, there's no Mac-partition at all. For some reason this was originally done by completely wiping the drive and partitioning it again. So it's MBR and NTFS, no EFI or recovery partitions, no GPT partition map. Can SafeGuard Easy be used with these machines? I saw release notes saying that Mac-hardware is not supported but what does that mean exactly? That it's not supported because there's no BIOS or because of the GPT partitioning or for some other reason? If this is the case is there any other solution than to reformat and install SafeGuard for Mac (if it's able to encrypt the windows partition, that is)?
On a side note, has anyone tested will Windows boot and work normally if it's cloned from MBR partition to normal GPT-partitioned Boot Camp volume on the same machine? I would imagine boot.ini or boot loader configuration may need to be modified.
Thanks.
