Most FDE vendors will provide you with Linux boot CD that will mount you HDD. If the the drive is properly encrypted and locked, you should not be able to read any useful data from the drive. Another option is in the enable FDE on a HDD and then hand it over to those data recovery guys, and ask them to retrieve useful data out of the drive. This approach will cost u $200-300, but it is excellent option if you want to sell FDE to the management.

Hi How can we ascertain that the encryption software we have selected is doing its jobs. A small test like removing the hdd of an encrypted laptop and attaching it as an external drive on another laptop shows the drive as unformatted. So far So Good.. But is there any tool available to demonstrate to the management that even the professionals cannot break in even if they lay their hands on the drive physically. I am basically trying to make a case to push for drive encryption in our organization. Please group suggest something..... Best Regards Samir
