T60p external HDD encryption?

#1 Post by Asudef » Mon Nov 17, 2014 4:26 am

I pulled a drive used in the external HDD caddy of a T60p and can't seem to read it on my dual boot mac in either Win7 or OS X.

Is this drive encrypted somehow? I don't remember doing any special procedures except maybe formatting to NTFS which Win7 and OS X should read.

If the Thinkpad did do something to it, is there any way to retrieve the information without the access of the T60p?

If you have one, try it in a non-Mac machine.
Or put it e.g. in an external USB enclosure and attach it to a PC or laptop.
If you can now read it, you'll need to bite in the sour Apple.

Hmm, I don't. So you're thinking its a Mac specific issue?

I'll give it a try at a buddies house and see.
