Installing on Portable Computers
If you are installing Pointsec PC on a portable computer, we recommend
you connect the computer to the AC power supply. The time required to
encrypt can vary depending on the size of the disk, what programs are
running, and the speed of the processor.
If the portable computer’s battery fails, Pointsec PC may not have
completed the encryption process. If this is the case, Pointsec PC will
continue the encryption process when the computer reboots.
Note - We recommend that you always perform a backup of any
computer on which you want to install Pointsec PC.
Note - Fragmented Disks
To install Pointsec PC, 100 MB of disk space is required, of which 2
MB must be contiguous, free space. If this amount of continuous space
is not available, the installation will fail. In general, it is considered
good practice to avoid fragmented disks to enhance overall
performance. It is also considered good practice to defragment disks
prior to installing Pointsec PC.
