Fujitsu encrypted Hdd data recovery

[indijoe]

HardDisk Status:

2.5" Fujitsu
One Primary C:
Two extended D: & E:
HardDisk drive Encrypted with Safeguard Easy

History:


Adware removal done with a freeware
Safeguard easy application popup are thrown to complete the installation or some kind
Support guys could not fix it
The primary partition removed
Rest of the partitions are seen as Unknown or raw partitions

Queries:

Which is the best and reliable Disk Imaging software that does sector by sector / byte by byte

/ raw imaging and the image can be analysed for data recovery rather than running recovery on

the affected HDD??

Which recovery software is best suited for this kind of scenario pl?

What are the suggested recovery methods for this scenario pl?

Thanks

Yes and Thanks for the info.
This is the reason why I am posting in the forums is nothing but Safeguard Easy which encrypts everything on a harddisk. This disk was whole disk encrypted and the IS & IMG guys who took it for rectification ignored the fact that without taking proper procedures primary partition can not be removed. Such an illiterate stuff at IT support what to do.

Now there should be a possible way to atleast recover the primary partition so that we can use the existing key to decrypt and then get the data.
In case of any other alternative solution is greatly advisable and yes there should be some way to recover ... right !?!

Please advice me on how to recover the data from my extended partitions.

If you have the key, yes, it can be done.
TrueCrypt for instance, forces you to create a boot CD when you do a full drive encryption so that if by any chance, damage happen to some sectors on the start of the drive and the software boot-loader can no longer run the start app to allow you to provide the key, you can boot from the cd and provide the key and force the decryption of the hole drive.
I think that TrueCrypt is better than any other encryption software out there, and it's free ....
At any rate, contact the provider of the software, if you have the key it should be possible to decrypt the good sectors (not damage part of the data).
