Data Recovery
Personal Edition
Situations such as operating system failure or hardware failure may cause encrypted data to become inaccessible. Data
recovery allows you to regain access to encrypted data on computers encrypted by Personal Edition.
There are two data recovery methods:
• Recover Data Using Current Computer - If the target computer is still bootable, data recovery can be accomplished
in-place.
• Recover Data using the Recovery .ISO Image (or a Slaved Drive) - If the target computer is not bootable, data recovery
must be accomplished on the computer booted into the pre-installed environment or a slaved drive. Recovery
instructions are located in the Dell installation media in the Windows Recovery Kit folder. If you do not have access to
this folder, contact Dell Pro Support for recovery options.
Prerequisites
• The recovery program must be run with Administrative rights on the drive that it is recovering. In Windows XP, the user
account that the recovery program is run under must at least be a member of the Administrator Group. In Windows 7,
Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, the recovery program must be “Run as Administrator” to have access to perform the
recovery operation.

A dialog displays asking you to select the scenario that best describes your problem:

• My system does not allow me to access encrypted data, edit policies, or is being reinstalled.
• I want to decrypt my HCA encrypted drive.
• I want to restore access to my HCA encrypted drive.
