ENCRYPTED DISK PATCH Version 1.2a (DEMO) 10/16/2008 Copyright (C) 2006-2008 By Rudolph R. Loew The Encrypted Disk Patch Software patches the BIOS and Windows 98/98SE/ME to provide full Disk Encryption. All files on the Hard Drive(s) are Encrypted as they are written and Decrypted as they are read so no unencrypted data is ever placed on the Hard Drive(s). If all of the Hard Drive(s) are Encrypted, all Temporary Files, Cache Files, History Files, Swap Files, Slack Space, etc. are Encrypted as well as all Application Files leaving no opportunity for anyone to recover sensitive data. Laptops with all Hard Drives Encrypted would no longer be a security threat, as no data or programs could be recovered from them, if they were stolen. REQUIREMENTS Windows 95 Release 2 (See Note Below) Windows 98, 98SE or ME. Motherboard IDE Controller recognized by the Default ESDI_506.PDR Port Driver For Hard Drives larger than 137GB: High Capacity Disk Patch from Rudolph R. Loew BIOS support for hard drives >137GB (48-Bit LBA) or Large Hard Drive Version of the Encrypted Disk Boot Manager NOTE: Some documentation and utilities may report this limit as 128GB. WARNING: Some BIOSes have defective support for 48-Bit LBA. Rearranging Drives may cause a previously working system to fail. Verify support using 48BITLBA.EXE for all Drive arrangements you plan to use. In particular, VIA EPIA BIOSes before 07/05 may claim to support 48-Bit LBA, and will show the full size of the Drive, but will not actually support the Drive if it is not the Primary Master. Users of VIA EPIA motherboards should contact the Author to obtain a Patched BIOS if needed. NOTE: Windows 95 performance has not been tested. If you are using the original version, upgrade the existing Disk Driver with REMIDEUP.EXE available from Microsoft at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171353/EN-US/ before Installing the Patch. DEMO VERSION The Demo Version of this Software has only the Floppy Based Boot Manager Setup (DFMINST.COM) and uses a fixed Password on all Encrypted Hard Drives. To obtain the Hard Disk Based Encrypted Boot Managers or to use secure Passwords you will need to obtain the Full Version of this Software. See Below for Ordering Information. WARNING: Encrypted drives created by the Demo version CANNOT be converted to a more secure Password using the Full Version.
