Hard Disk hardware failure during Encryption We recommend running a CHKDSK /r prior to installing EEPC to ensure the hard disk is in a healthy state. If the Hard Disk is damaged or has a high number of undiscovered bad sectors, the disk could fail during the full disk encryption process. Adding new features and fixes to an existing Enterprise If you want to add new features and fixes to an existing Endpoint Encryption Manager, please follow the instructions in the Endpoint Encryption Update and Migration Guide present in the root folder of the software build. This document describes how to update an existing enterprise version of Endpoint Encryption to the latest version and how to implement dedicated features like Smart Cards and Tokens. If you are installing it for the first time, please follow the instructions in the Endpoint Encryption Quick Start Guide. Adding new Smart Cards and Tokens To implement new smart cards and tokens in the Endpoint Encryption Manager, follow the instructions in the Endpoint Encryption Update and Migration Guide present in the root folder of the software build. If you are performing a fresh installation, please follow the instructions in the Endpoint Encryption Quick Start Guide. Make sure that your system has the supported reader drivers installed before trying to install Endpoint Encryption for PC. You can find drivers for supported readers in the Tools software package, which can be downloaded from www.mcafee.com. Dynamic and RAID disks in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista Because Endpoint Encryption works at sector level, it does not support software-based dynamic disks as seen in Windows 2000. The following issues must be considered when installing Endpoint Encryption on a system with this feature. Volumes spanning one or more physical drives Endpoint Encryption only encrypts the first drive, which the volume exists on, and leaves the remaining volumes in plain text. Volumes mapped as directories (hard links) Endpoint Encryption does not encrypt the volume because the physical sectors are not supported at the BIOS level. Mirrored and RAID volumes Endpoint Encryption is untested in this mode. It is not designed to support software mirroring and RAID. Hardware RAID Endpoint Encryption is untested in this mode, but should work properly in a situation where pure Hardware RAID has been implemented. However, Endpoint Encryption cannot support diagnostic or disaster recovery in this situation. HP NoteBook PCs with SATA hard disks McAfee and HP discovered an issue with the BIOS support of SATA hard disks on HP Notebooks, which makes writing to the hard disk in SATA Native mode unreliable. The issue has been confirmed on the HP Compaq nw8440 Mobile Workstation, HP Compaq nc8430 Notebook PC, and HP Compaq nx8420 Notebook PC. If SATA Native Mode is enabled on these systems, the following issues eventually occur due to incorrect writing of data by the HP BIOS: Corrupt graphics and text pre-boot, missing users, missing tokens Data Store Corrupt errors Missing Attribute errors Unknown User where the user previously functioned and has not been removed. This issue is present in BIOS versions prior to F.10, released 17th April 2007. In these releases to prevent this issue occurring, please disable SATA Native Mode in your notebooks BIOS. You can obtain BIOS version F.10 and greater through your HP support service. If you are using a BIOS version of F.10 or greater then this issue is not relevant.
