NO INIT, Press any key to restart or exit

Hi all. We have a HP laptop with the Sophos Safeguard installed. The HDD was encrypted worked for few moths.

Now we are runing into a major issue:

Upon booting up, we get this error:

Sophos Safe guard is staring.

Please wait...

No Init

Press any key to reboot,

or switch off the system now.

When we hit the key: I got no reponse from the laptop.

Please help.

Thanks.
