Safteboot 5b010019 error then 92h

We have several Dell Laptops that have come up with the 5b010019 error
when we try to an emergency recovery then we get 92h corrupt error.
We are able to get the drives decrypted and reinstall safeboot on most
but this is a 4 hour work around.

Has anyone else seen this - we are trying to find a common thread but
we have not be able to find one. This started yesterday Monday
12-17-07 we have ruled out MS Patches.

Any help or thought appreciated.

Why don't you ask the vendor of the mentioned software product for support?

(Aside from that, anyone using a closed-source crypto product obviously has
no clue what he's doing.)

I have tested this SafeBoot stuff once for an evaluation of multiple full
disc encryption software for a company. I found it horribly broken, it
didn't even either install, the boot loader locked up, the correct pasword
didn't get accepted etc.

And still the question: Why do you think that closed-source crypto could
provide any security?

Sebby,

We find you horribly broken, but that doesn't answer his question
either.

It's rather likely the guy merely has to support the junk and didn't
have a hand in selecting it. Why (other than your being quite an
asshole), do you feel compelled to berate this guy for having a
problem he needs to solve? One that he very likely didn't create?

Merry Christmas, in case we don't chat again this week.

Best Regards,

Obviously you failed to notice that I already answered his question: Since
SafeBoot is a software of horrible quality, and since closed-source crypto
is insecure by design, he should simply decrypt the disk and uninstall SafeBoot.

I am fighting the same battle at my company and our IBM ThinkPads. Th
issue seemed to have manifested over the weekend. I have been workin
with SafeBoot and our other software vendors (antivirus, firewall
etc.). I have also opened a severity A case with MS (which basicall
means we have a small army working on this).

So far, we have been unable to reproduce the issue. I'll be sure t
share any info I come across, and would appreciate any thoughts you ma
have on this issue..
