How do you encrypt a partition, instead of a full disk, with PGP Desktop, from the command line? To encrypt a whole disk there seems to be a --disk argument, but I can't find how to do it for partitions.

It is something along these lines.

pgpwde --encrypt --passphrase "your password goes here" --disk "#" --partition "#"

This article may give you more insight, it talks about the decrypt.

  • It seems that's the correct syntax. Nevertheless I'm getting Error code -11975: "feature not available", do you know if that's a licensing issue or something else? – Pablo Fernandez Dec 05 '09 at 16:40
  • Yes it is a licensing issue. http://forum.pgp.com/t5/PGP-Whole-Disk-Encryption-for/Encrypt-disk-using-PGPWDE/m-p/24702 – ricbax Dec 05 '09 at 16:46
