NOTE: Dynamic partitions are not supported. If a partition is displayed as available, but it cannot be encrypted when selected, the partition is dynamic. A dynamic partition results from shrinking a partition to create a new partition within Disk Management.

A warning is displayed if a partition will be converted to a dynamic partition.

Backup and recovery (administrator task)

When Drive Encryption is activated, administrators can use the Encryption Key Backup page to back up encryption keys to removable media and to perform a recovery.

Backing up encryption keys

Recovering encryption keys

Administrators can recover an encryption key from the removable storage device where it was saved previously:

1.Turn on the computer.

2.Insert the removable storage device that contains your backup key.

3.When the Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools login dialog box opens, click Options.

4.Click Recovery.

5.Select the file that contains your backup key or click Browse to search for it, and then click Next.
