Hi,
I have this Iomega eGo Encrypt Plus 500 GB, AES CBC 256-bit hardware-encrypted portable hard drive.
At some point after I used the hdd, the Iomega eGo application (this is the GUI that allows me to unlock the hdd's encrypted partition) stopped responding after I selected the "Lock drive and eject" option.
I left the app running for at least 2 hours hopping that it will recover, but no luck. Since I was runnig out of time, I had to unplug my hdd from the USB port, and this is the moment I lost access to my files on the hdd.
Is there a way to regain access to my files ? (I did not reformat the hdd, thus my previously encrypted partition appears unformatted in Windows now).
