Bit of background I have a 16TB WD or seagate hard drive. Used for backup of my whole pc. I stupidly put encryption on the drive a while back but got sick of the slow time to unlock the drive. I’m not sure why but the decryption got stuck and I ended up turning the pc off. The drive was removed from the system up until this week when I found the drive and decided to plug it back in.
Initially the drive works ok I can load the files from it and windows sees it. The problem is the decryption has resumed but it’s taking forever and a day. It’s literally taking a day for 1% decryption at best and now it is stuck at 38.9% decryption.
Another issue is if I restart the pc the computer doesn’t load and it’s sheer luck I can get the pc to post with the decrypting drive installed.
Anyone know what the problem is here? I would really like to use it for backup but it seems the decryption is causing real issues.
Thanks for any advice. Sorry if this is the wrong sub I just figured if anyone is gonna know it’s this sub.
