If using a local account, the windows logon password must be at least 8 characters. Having a shorter password will cause a windows blue screen of death after encryption. 2. Disconnect any external storage devices you do not wish to have encrypted. Some are detected as hard drives instead of removable devices. DO NOT REBOOT if external drives are being encrypted! You must wait for the encryption to finish before restarting and completing the installation. 3. You need to decrypt any EFS encrypted files or folders before encrypting with Safeguard Easy. 4. ND SafeGuard Easy CD. 5. Know the local windows Administrator account/password of the machine to be encrypted 6. ND Backup utility, included on cd, or other back-up option. You must back-up your pertinent files prior to beginning the encryption process. 7. Lenovo/IBM laptops -- Rescue and Recovery software must be version 3 or higher. This update must occur prior to installation of SafeGuard, otherwise, SafeGuard will not install.

You may continue to work while the encryption process runs; however, it is advised that this process should run overnight. a. The computer may be shutdown and restarted during the encryption process and it will pick up where it left off. (If you have left external storage devices attached DO NOT shutdown or restart until encryption is complete. There is high probability that data will be lost on these drives. Wait to continue the install until the encryption is finished.) It is recommended that you do not hibernate the system while the drive is being encrypted as this could potentially cause problems when returning from hibernation. 13.
