Confirmation of Disk Encryption Activities
The only method to confirm that Hard Disk Encryption has been enabled is via
MarkVision Professional. A plug-in has been developed for MarkVision, which will allow
you to view the status of Hard Disk Encryption on a fleet of devices.
Note:
If you remove an encrypted disk from a device and then try to install another disk,
the following message will appear on the device control panel:
Disk Corrupted.
Reformat?
You can then format the newly installed disk or remove it from the device. If
you choose to reformat the disk, the device will generate a new encryption key, and
encrypt and format the new hard disk. At this point, the data from the previous hard disk
will no longer be accessible by any machine.
