Safeguard Uninstallation Causes Windows Boot Corruption

Good afternoon,

Sophos Safeguard Enterprise 7.0.2

Attempted to uninstall safeguard.  The disk decrypted all the config, client and pre-install (in that order) were uninstalled.  All of the components appear to be uninstalled.  However, went to reboot and the POA screen comes up.  I did not get the deinstallation of Sophos message that normally comes up.  I am able to log past this screen but then get stuck on a black screen that states "Sophos is loading OS now!".  I have tried using the recovery CD suggested, with some other documentation that talks about exporting keys but I don't see those options in the new admin console.  I have tried toggling all fo the hotkeys, and repairing the MBR with the Sophos recovery CD.

It seems that the handoff from Safeguard to Windows has gone corrupt.

Any suggestions to get this booting again or to get the data off the drive?

Thanks!
