Recovering encrypted drives

Drive recovery is necessary when local drives can no longer be accessed (e.g. when data sectors of the drive are defective).

In order to restore (decrypt) an encrypted drive, you need to perform the following four steps:

1. Create the recovery files

2. Copy all the files necessary for decryption to a USB removable disk or to the recovery CD

3. Boot the computer with the recovery CD

4. Use the recovery files and tools to decrypt the desired hard drive(s) on the affected computer.
