redfive19 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi all,I've been trying to remove the Pre-Boot Authentication client that PointSec Full disk encryption installs. Basically, here's what I've done:Unlocked the drive using the procedure given to us by PointSec (I have full read/write access to the drive)Boot into WinPE 2.0Wipe the drive using DISKPART clean allApply the new image using ImagexWhen I reboot, I'm still prompted with the PBA (PointSec). I've tried using GDISK32 to zero out the drive as well. The vendor is saying that FIXBOOT will work but FIXBOOT isn't in PE 2.0. This is an automated process that needs to stay in PE 2.0. Any ideas guys?!? Thanks!-redfive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mats Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 bootsect may do the trick if it's just a new bootsector that's needed. bootsect is on a vista DVD. IT should be asy to add to a vista PE if requiered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!-redfiveSwitches: GDiskQuestion/Issue:This document describes the switches that can be used with the GDisk utilities, GDisk.exe, and GDisk32.exe.Solution:GDisk is a DOS program with seven main operations. This document describes the options available for each operation. The seven operations are: * Display partition information (/STATUS) * Create a partition (/CRE) * Delete a partition (/DEL) * Activate or deactivate a partition (/ACT and /-ACT) * Hide or unhide a partition (/HIDE and /-HIDE) * Reinitialize the master boot record (/MBR) * Wipe the disk surface (/DISKWIPE)So maybe /MBR option will do for you?
