I have a drive from HP which has Data partition encrypted.
Was able to image 80% of that drive.
Boot partition is fine, but have to decrypt data partition.
Any suggestions or hints are welcome.

get the decryption credentials from the client
If it is a hardware encryption through an enclosure, place the clone back into the enclosure.

What kind of encryption?
Pointsec, Bitlocker, PGP...
THey should have those credentials if it was used. If it is a corporate drive they may not release that info.
Have you tried booting the clone up to see if maybe it will authenticate through boot. I know this may or may not work due to hardware differences from the clients computer, but worth a try. Then you may get lucky and just need the clients username and password for windows.

I have seen a number of these with Safeboot pre-installed. Can you see any references to "SAFEBOOT" at the start of the drive?
