• Yes. You can remove the disk from a failed machine and connect it to another machine that has PGP Desktop installed. You will prompted to enter the disk’s passphrase to unlock it, then after it’s unlocked you can access the data. • It the problem is that Bootguard has failed, rather than the entire computer, you can use a PGP Whole Disk Encryption Recovery Disk Image disk to boot the computer.
