Cixert Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I have purchased 3 Kingston A400 SSD. I am going to use them as a system disk in several computers. On each disk I use multiple partitions with various operating systems. Before locating the disk in the destination computer, I have copied the data (programs and operating systems) from another computer used as a source, by connecting the Kingston as an external USB drive. Once the disk is located in the destination computer, the operating systems start up perfectly and all the copied programs can be read. Now I start working with operating system 1 (Windows XP) and download new programs to the hard disk. When I go to read them from the operating system 2 (Windows 2000 or Windows XP) they appear encrypted, with strange symbols. Also when I go back to operating system 1 it does chkdsk automatically with corrupted data. Is it possible to disable Kingston hardware encryption? I have read that it uses AES 256 bits and that the data only decrypted if the operating system username matches, using its password for automatic decryption. Edit 1: I may be wrong, I have booted the computer from a DVD with Windows XP live PE and then I see and read the files. The strange thing is that from other Windows XP & 2000 just installed on the disk, with the drivers not configured I can not. When I go into a folder of newly created files, I see strange symbols in the file names, as if they were corrupted. Edit 2: The issue is solved, it was not caused by encryption. The cause was that the data partition was out of alignment. Edited April 27, 2020 by Cixert
