I had some issues with the E-series and Whole Disk Encryption. Drive wouldn't encrypt unless a thumbdrive was installed, once the thumbdrive was installed you could manually encrypt, but if you ever inserted and then later ejected the thumbdrive you would blue screen Windows. Some threads on the PGP message boards suggested it was a driver issue, which I never did resolve (uninstalling the driver would not fix the problem). I suspected that the Control Point software was tied to the problem, too. Eventually I gave up and wiped, avoiding the driver and the Control Point software altogether, for expediency. Just a word of warning if you're using PGP WDE.
