Use the Drive Slaving Utility

To use the Drive Slaving Utility:

  1. On a computer with Check Point Full Disk Encryption installed, run this command in Windows Command Prompt to start the Full Disk Encryption Drive Slaving Utility. 
    <DISK:>\Program files(x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Full Disk Encryption\fde_drive_slaving.exe

    The Full Disk Encryption - Drive Slaving window opens.

    Note:

    To unlock a protected USB connected hard disk drive, you must first start the Drive Slaving Utility, and then connect the disk drive.

  2. Select a Full Disk Encryption protected disk to unlock.

    The Unlock volume(s) authentication window opens.

  3. Enter User account name and Password.
  4. Click OK.

After successful authentication, use Windows Explorer to access the disk drive. If you fail to access the locked disk drive, use the Full Disk Encryption recovery file, then run the Drive Slaving Utility again.

Note:

To prevent data corruption, shut down the system or use a safe removal utility before you disconnect the USB connected drive.
