Here's a weird one - Running Win 7 Pro x64. My domain account is in
the local Admins group. I am having difficulty encrypting my D: drive
with PGP Whole Disk Encryption; it tells me there's no valid volume.
Since I don't have anything on that volume I care about, I figure I
will just delete the whole partition, and start over again.
Except that I can't. I can't format it (I get an unknown error, and
nothing in the Event logs, except Event 1, VDS Basic Provider, which -
according to MS - can be safely ignored. Dunno why I get that; I'm not
using the Hyper-V that the KB talks about ...).
I can't delete the partition; I get "Virtual Disk Manager:Access is Denied".
If I boot with a UBCD4WIN CD, I can delete the partitiion, and
re-create it fine. But booting back into Win 7 gives me the same
error, so it can't be related to the actual disk partitioning; must be
something in Windows. But I can't find out what.
I have no errors access drive D: - I can write to it, read from it,
run programs from it, etc. All works as it should. I just can't figure
out why I get the Access Denied message. I look at the security of the
drive, and it seems right to me ("local PC\Administrators" has FULL
access).
Any clues as to where to go next? There's no errors in the Event Log,
and no errors accessing the drive ... except when I want to go delete
the partition or format the drive ...
