Thanks for providing the Make/Model on that Inspiron n5110 laptop. And welcome to the Club of running an IT dept. Re: SFC error: 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation Please post back your final solution so we can share with our other users. The trouble ticket will especially help if you never told them you were going to use this particular encrytpion software they will want to document that and possibly test it, if they didn't supply to you in the first place. This would be in case other folks in your Company run into this identical error, and find themselves unable to access needed files and hit the same error message.

Then if you solve on your own, or with our help, you can have the Help Desk close out the Ticket and document your solution. One last additon along this line, did you CHECK with your IT techs to see whether this ' winmagic securedoc software' was tested to work with your Custom windows boot configuration on your PC? :angry: Just a suggestion as a former Network Manager in charge of 5,000 employee computers, you should at least run this by your Techs, and best, you should call the IT Help Desk and generate a Trouble Ticket on this item.

(WDP is part of WDM, and in older systems such as XP, it's also part of the STEADY STATE app).Īnd since your PC would then be the only PC in your company with a non-compliant configuration on your Windows they will be paying you a visit sooner or later and they won't be very happy with you. In this case, specifically, if they turned on WDM (Windows Disk Management) and DISABLED your ability to make permanent write changes to the disk such as the drive letter change you are trying to make, you can never do it, unless you reformat the hard drive on that PC and reinstall Windows from scratch! This checkable item is called WINDOWS DISK PROTECTION, and this is where your current error is coming from. And I'm sure this is something you've already done or thought of, but have you asked your IT techs about this encryption error? Reason I am asking, is that if they setup restricted access to the PCs, they may have used STEADY STATE or another Microsoft SDK built tool to modify your PCs and Windows. Also, since you are in a financial company, it's likely that your IT department has built or at least touched this PC with the drive letter remapping. Any chance you could provide us with the Make/Model of the PC you are having this problem on? Software guys don't care that much, but we Hardware types really need this information as it may give us clues to hardware specificity that could be causing your problems.
