Fatal Error: [0xEE020002]” or “pePC has been corrupted – ERROR 92h” on a hard drive encrypted with 2012 Drive Encryption for ProtectTools, there is a tool can be used to attempt to retrieve data from the hard drive. Legal Notice: DiskTech 2012 tool is provided “As Is” by Hewlett Packard Company and McAfee, Inc. Neither Hewlett Packard nor McAfee provide any warranties either explicit or implied that any encrypted files can be retrieved using DiskTech 2012 or any other tool. Prior to encrypting any data, the user is advised to utilize backup utilities and perform frequent backups of their data to secure media. Instructions:You must have access to the backup encryption key (.dat file typically saved to a USB) and have the DiskTech2012.iso () burned to a CD.Boot from the CD.? Make sure the USB key containing your recovery key and any other external USB storage devices are attached to a USB 2.0 port (not USB SS port) before powering on.Click the red icon at bottom left.Select McAfee Tools -> McAfee EETech for HPPT 7.0.For a regular hard drive (HDD), click the "Authenticate" button. For a self-encrypting drive (SED), click the “Deactivate Encryption” button.Navigate to the recovery key on your USB key.? Select "Open".? (If the encrypted drive is not mountable, it is here where you will usually receive an error)The drive should now be mounted.? You can leave the Authentication window open.Click the red icon at bottom left.Select System Tools -> A43 File Management Utility.You should now be able to access the files on your drive and move them to an external device.For HDDs:The files on the hard drive are still encrypted when this retrieval process is completed, and you will not be able to boot from this hard drive unless it is rebuilt. You may choose to store the hard drive in a secure location for future access to the files remaining on it. The files on the hard drive will not be accessible except through the DiskTech 2011 tool.For SEDs:The files on the self encrypting drive should now be accessible. The procedure will unlock the drive in most cases. You should deactivate Drive Encryption in the ProtectTools Administrator console to restore it to the proper state. You may reactivate Drive Encryption after the state is restored, and your system should return to normal operation.You may choose to rebuild the operating system on the computer using OEM disks, or entering the HP Recovery Manager by pressing the F11 key during the boot process (if the recovery partition remains on the machine).If the hard drive is formatted (by HP Recovery Manager or using the Quick Format feature on the OEM setup disks), all files on the hard drive will be wiped, and will no longer be accessible through any method. Note:If the data cannot be retrieved using the DiskTech 2012 tool, you may contact HP Technical Support but it is doubtful there is anything more HP can do if you followed the correct procedures in this document. HP’s standard warranty does not warrant data, as it is the responsibility of the user to ensure they have a valid backup of their data. ................
