Corrupt windows, need to remove safeguard client 6.0 from slave drive

Rudedawg

Hello all,

    I have found myself in the unique situation that My previously encrypted drive had gotten a windows startup corruption.  I had to slave it to another machine to decrypt the drive and do the repairs to the startup but I am facing something new now.  The drive that was giving the issues is now booting to the windows login page but it is shutting itself down after a few seconds.  I have read that it can be attributed to a corrupt local cache but I cannot get into safe mode or windows to remove the local client via control panel.  I have to connect the drive as a slave in order to work on it.  Is there a way to manually remove all parts of the local client in order for it not to shut down my machine?

Second idea I had was to re-encrypt the drive.  Will this work in order to stop it from shutting down?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Rudy

    Hi again Rudy,

    There are some good recovery instructions in the discussion thread HERE.

    "Data on encrypted drive, corrupted OS" (08-May-2014)

    It is on this board, a little ways down.  See the 4th post for slaving a drive to another encrypted PC instructions.

    You also have to move a Key for the failed PC onto the Host PC's object within Sophos Management Center.

    Best wishes,  ~ Dennis

    Dennis,

    Thank you for the replies.  I already slaved the drive and was able to backup my data.  I am using sophos Enterprise.  The issue I was having was AFTER doing these steps and doing the MBR repairs the computer would get to the windows login screen and then shut down after 3-5 seconds.  I am assuming this is a corrupt local cache because I read about someone with similar symptoms from that.  I need to mark this thread closed because I unfortunately could not wait any longer and I had to do a clean format and install...  Thank you for the thoughts though! :-)
