My 1.5 TB drive with 15 years of data, including work, has recently went from NTFS to RAW.
It's unfortunately also encrypted with PGP Desktop 10.
I can't decrypt it as is because it's not showing up in PGP to decrypt.
I will pay if someone can help me solve this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
External PGP WDE NTFS drive now RAW. Urgent.

Re: External PGP WDE NTFS drive now RAW. Urgent.
Just to fill in a few more details..
When you plug the drive in it asks to be formatted, so it's detecting a disk. It makes a small noose when starting but nothing really abnormal. SMART scan fines the drive in perfect shape and staying at 26c.
>wmic logicaldisk get name returns C:/(OS) D:/(CD) and E:/(Encrypted drive
However..
../PGP Desktop> pgpwde --enum only returns disk 0 (OS)
When using >pgpwde --decrypt --disk1 it returns a not found error, obviously. Not sure why WMIC returns the drive but ENUM doesn't..

If you start TestDisk, do you see the second physical drive (the truecrypt disk)? Is the disk capacity ok ?

It's a PGP encrypted disk, but yes, it detects it as 1500Gb. I can take a picture Chen home because it's not the entire story.. It's listed twice, I believe, for some reason.

I'm attempting to use Acronis TrueImage to back up the drive but it's saying it needs 6.5 TB to back up a 1.5 TB drive, when usually it uses a smaller amount than the original...
I assume this means there are bad sectors..
If I back up this drive, sector-by-sector and attempt to decrypt the new drive, do you think it will work or is this just hopeless?
