If the entire drive is encrypted how would SpinRite be able to correctly identify the filesystem type and update the appropriate entries when it moves data?

If the drive is recognized in the BIOS, you can run SpinRite against it. SpinRite works below the OS, at the sector level, and can recover data there. Once SpinRite has done its magic recovering the bad sectors, you should be able to boot the OS again. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
