If I remove a MBP drive can I access data?

On a recent trip, I fried logic board in my MBP 4 year. I don't know if the hard drive is still ok, but it can be.

I think to remove the hard drive and put it in a box of HDD external (or whatever we call them).

But the drive was encrypted with filevault. I have the filevault encryption code. If the drive still works and I plug it into another Mac, I will be able to access the data? Will it ask me to enter the code?

Thank you.

As far as I know if you connect the drive and go into disk utility there should be a prompt to disable the encryption,

and providing the password and leave the reader to decipher.

  • Re-installed XP Pro. Now can not access data dynamic disk on the HD 2

    Hey all. Good here we will...

    My system has TWO SATA drives. A year ago I converted both Dyamic discs thinking I could use them in a RAID, but decided to do it. So, since that time I am using OS + critical data Disk1 and Disk2 as a backup (compressed image of Disk1).

    My question is now, I have re-installed XP Pro on disk 1 and my computer does not allow me to see the data in Disk2. XP Pro detects disc 2 as "base" and asks me to format it. However, my BART PE bootdisk shows 2 disk as dynamic and he can't read.

    This is where I am. I'm trying to understand how to read data from disk 2. Whether some use of software 3rd party or a way to get XP Pro to see the data.

    Check the knowledge base on best practices with dynamic disks.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/search/?adv=1
    For example.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/329707

    "Dynamic disks use a private disk region to maintain a logical disk manager (LDM) database, which contains the types of volumes, offsets, memberships and the drive letters of each volume. The LDM database is also replicated, so that each dynamic disk knows about every other dynamic disk configuration. This feature makes dynamic disks more reliable and recoverable than basic disks. »

    You suggest that your second drive can still have a copy of his information LDM. In other words, as long as you did not "commit a sin" as defined in this article.

    See 'import records' here and see if 'Foreign' is displayed for the drive in disk management.
    Disk management is where you want to look for info on the disc.

  • Where are the passwords stored on my hard drive, can I access, change them

  • ESXi upgraded via Update Manager can now access data store.

    I had an old (Dell Optiplex GX620) office that was running ESXi 3.5 U1 maybe? (It was installed just after the big deal on the closing date set for esxi).  He had a store of data on SATA drive mount, which worked very well.

    After updating to the latest version of ESXi through Update Manager, he can no longer see theVM on the data store...

    I get a warning that says "VMware ESX Server has no persistent storage", but when I look at the disk in the storage of the configuration tab section, he clearly ShowAs seen a VMFS to 144 GB partition.  When I have the Browse, it seems to show a few newspapers files and nothing else.

    Is it possible to return these VM?

    They are not critical, but it would be good to know how to save files from a VMFS partition...

    Same thing happened to me when I updated to ESXi 3.5 U3.

  • D drive list almost complete, but after a Trojan horse, I can't access

    I had a Trojan horse? Used the recovery disk, but nearly full showing D drive and I can not access data on this subject. Cleaning disc has 0 bytes. Files / photos shows empty. How to recover my D drive or D drive data or clean the files it contains? I can't drive D. help, please.

    This is / was your system recovery disk!  You shouldn't put anything here and just left alone.  Now the problem is a bit more complicated because we don't want to do damage for retrieving information stored there.  You must contact the technical assistance of the manufacturer of the computer service and know how to undo what you did on the recovery Partition.  We know nothing about them were leaving recovery or processes as they vary from a constructor (and have been created by the manufacturer and not Microsoft) and we don't have access to this information.  Only they can help you recover recovery information (you probably somehow helping move everything you moved it).

    I'm sorry, we can not be more useful, but because it is the recovery partition, you have to manage with the manufacturer of this problem.

    Good luck!

  • Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

    Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

    2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

  • I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room.

    * Original title: upgrade.

    Hello. I'm trying to reinstall my own copy of windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop for a clean start.

    My problem is that, because I only did this for a while the "D" partition is completely filled. The bar that shows the ability is red instead of green and because there is no place, I can't reinstall the O/P.

    For some reason, I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room. It does not appear on Device Manager, and when I try to access it through my computer it shows "D" drive must be empty.

    I also tried to add and remove programs, but they all seem to be on the C"" drive.

    How do I enter "D" drive to remove enough information for me to finish a reinstall?

    Start the custom installation, it will ask you where store system.  Click Advanced.  Delete all partitions.  The installation process will create the partitions, that he needs and format.  I recommend strongly against any other that what Windows 7 install really wants partitioning.

  • I want to remove/erase/print driver to Windows 7 and can't find any documentation.

    New DELL Windows 7 computer (within 30 days) and want to remove persistent / printer driver.

    Could not find any documentation on the issue, and neither DELL nor Microsoft are willing to provide any type of support, unless its paid for a product or service that is less than 30 days old.

    OK, I found the solution to this problem... the info above is correct as it goes, but in my case, there was no option to erase the print on both printers 'ghost' queue because they were disconnected and (b) it has been shared on the network unavailable, so no option to the print queue was posted and had a printer assigned to TCP/IP port.

    Here's how I did, step by step:

    1. right click on desktop, create a new shortcut with the target under 'cmd.exe '.
    2. right click on the shortcut, "Run as Administrator".
    3. run the tool printui: printui/s/T2
    4. try to remove printers. If this does not work...
    5. click on start > run > Services.msc
    6 locate the print spooler service and right click > properties > stop him.
    7. open my computer and go to c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers
    (you will need to say 'oK' to access the file).
    8 REMOVE the contents of this folder.
    9 restart the print spooler service.
    10. go back into the printui utillity (might need to restart using the same method as above) and try to delete printers again. This time it should work. If necessary, see the "Ports" tab and delete all TCP/IP ports that are associated with the old printer.
    11 Last but not least, I checked the other computers on my home network to see if any of these was located at the old printer and I removed these mappings, as the date of the spooling documents suggest it was printed in time once it has been deleted physically.

  • Conclusion removed the hard drive

    Our "old" laptop teacher at work will be used by students this year so our IT team has removed all hard drives.  Unfortunately, one of our teachers made a mistake on the external hard drive backup and lost his papers. The info was accidentally recorded on the hard drive... not the external drive. All hard drives (hundreds and hundreds) are now randomly laying in boxes.

    We can find the laptop that was hers, but is it possible to find the serial number for the hard drive that had been in it? Are the serial numbers for the laptop in any way linked to the serial number on the hard drive? Just try to find every way possible to help him.

    Not sure about the BONE... probably the latest or next to last.

    Thank you!

    There is no correlation between the installed hard drive and MacBooks in which they have been installed. Then the next number in the series could even have another brand of disc.

    Frankly, I can't remove these drives. A single pass of erasure with writing zeros would be crushed everything (but it takes all afternoon). Crushed once sufficient for everything but nuclear secrets.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

    My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

    To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
    Is this true?
    (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

    The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You don't have to remove the screw holding the cover of the slot. Then, you can simply remove the HARD drive.
