Hi guys,

I have a Hard drive which is not doing great even after a head replacement and there is McAfee encryption on the drive.

Imaging the drive completely most likely its not going to work, is there any other solution to get to the data faster?


Please advice

Thank you :)

I recommend getting the cleanest clone possible.  There really isn't much way to cut corners with encrypted drives.  Clients want their data secure, they pay the price with time and money to get the data recovered, if it is even recoverable.

image the beginning of the drive past 6-7 million
this should get you the MFT
the bitmap is typically right before the mft frequently at 6291456
you may need to image some of the end of the drive

make a 2nd copy of that image
decrypt it
if it wont decrypt then you may be wasting your time anyway
use the bitmap to see home much of the drive can be imaged.
There s probably a way to use de - create a map using the bitmap and save it.
then swap in the original drive
and use the bitmap to image it.

also if you get the entire mft then you can target the high priority files.
