Shrink pointsec drive without company support
LockedI have a laptop from work, which has a 500G drive with a single Pointsec partition with the company’s install of Windows. I would like to shrink that drive and install an Ubuntu OS alongside it for personal use so I keep both separate.
I will have no company support for this, even though it is in their best interest that I do not use the Windows OS outside work, but explaining that is futile.What I have:
* Legitimate access to the drive (my own user/pass that eventually boots the OS so it must get the decryption key).
* Legitimate regular windows id on the PC.
* A “.rec” recovery file made by the IT department when they installed the PC.
* Physical access to the laptop: boot something else, take the disk out etc
* Read access to the Pointsec program files on the installed driveWhat I don’t have and probably never will:
* Admin pointsec account.
* Admin windows account.
* Original Pointsec installation media.Any thoughts?
