Pointsec boot from CD

January 7, 2010 in Tech Support

Since I always forget how to boot from a cd using Pointsec I decided to write it down. This brings you to an alternative boot menu.

  1. Start computer
  2. Enter Pointsec account information.
  3. When it prompts you to continue, do not hit continue right away instead press CTRL + F10
  4. Then continue you will be prompted with the alternative boot menu.

If you need a disk that can read the encrypted drive. You can try following the following instructions to create a Bart PE cd with the Pointsec Drivers in it:

    Pointsec was not allowing the bios to boot from the CD-drive. This solved the problem, cheers!

    I have managed to access the “alternative boot menu” but only receive the option to boot from:
    0 floppy drive (laptop not fitted with one)
    1 Hard drive
    2 Windows PE (if available).

    Any ideas why I can’t see the boot from CD/DVD option?
