PGP Desktop 10.1 WDE hanging on unencryption?

[DuaneG]

So.. having a problem with my Sony.
I have to reformat my hard drive on my Sony laptop, which is currently encrypted with PGP Desktop 10.1 Whole Disk Encryption.

The problem is, I had to forcibly restart due to it locking up in the middle of it, now it's on 1.48% and stuck. Even before the restart it wouldn't allow me to "pause"/stop. Now it just sicks at 1.48% all night long.

Thanks...

Figured out the problem, in case anyone is interested in the future..

Solution is here: ( http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/pgp-wde-decryption-stuck-99-remaining )

Admin into cmd line, CD to PGP Desktop and use
"pgpwde --decrypt --passphrase "passphrase" --disk 1"
It'll reply with "Request sent to Start decrypt disk was successful"

Then you close PGP Desktop and reopen it, hit pause and start again.

The big problem was this, the hard drive is going bad..
It's got 6 GB left, 1.2% and it's returning a time of 12 hours until completion, and even then, it keeps disconnecting every 5=10 minutes.

So.. In case anyone's PGP Desktop ever hangs on encrypting/decrypting, admin into command, cd to pgp folder and use that line above.
