[FDE] PointSec

[Allen]

Hi,

Having been part of a large PointSec deployment recently, I can 
tell you that we found two problems: something called "pixie 
boot" which I never did get a clear definition of, and disk 
fragmentation.

Run defrag and checkdsk on all machines before installing. They 
wrote a little script to do it for all the machines connected to 
the LAN. With the pixie boot and the defrag/checkdsk fixes the 
failure rate went from 17% to 0.025%. We think the failed 
machines had hardware/HD problems anyway so they were just 
swapped out.

Best,

Allen
