Thanks.

Wow..encryption seems to be in progress but obviously it's stuck and can't rollback or complete. I think at this rate of going what I'd personally do is trying boot to Ubuntu from the CD (You don't have to install Ubuntu just put the CD\DVD in the drive. You might have to change your boot order to CD\DVD) and see if you can access the data on the drive that way. If you have DaRT that might be worth a try but considering your issue I don't think you'll even be able to use it. PLEASE MARK ANY ANSWERS TO HELP OTHERS Blog: rorymon.com Twitter: @Rorymon
