Hi,

I have a HP Elitebook 840 laptop. I tried to remove the HP_TOOLS/HP_RECOVERY partitions in Windows and when I rebooted the following error displays and prevents computer from booting Win 7 64 bit installation : "eCcode not found"

 

My theory:

My drive was encrypted with "HP Drive Encryption" that is part of "HP Client Security" package.

The software needed to decrypt and successfully boot from drive was located on one of the HP partitions that I messed up.

 

I took the drive out, plugged it in my desktop PC and now I'm looking for a way to decrypt it, hooping that it will then boot normaly when I put it back to my laptop.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

To ask a more specific question: My drive is encrypted with HP Drive Encryption, how can I decrypt it when I'm using it as an external drive?

Hello,  did you get this resolved.  I have a problem with the boot partition and want to recover the data from the encrypted drive that was HP Drive Encryption

Thank you

After a few call to HP support they send me iso of repair disk with manual. It works. This Repair disk is WinPE ISO with SDWmgRecovery.exe tool and SDRecovery TBLauncher plugin (both tool and plugin comes from Winmagic). I'm affraid that it could be hard to find it in internet to download. If you still need it call HP or let me know.

Nope, because the software that was used to encrypt the data, is not available (only sold to enterprises you cant even get a trial version) for standalone users trying to decrypt external drives.

Do you stil need to recover/decrypt your hdd?

HP Recommended
