I've been trying to mount the hard drive from my old computer on my new computer to transfer my data.
The complication is that this is an encrypted partition.
When I look at it on the file manager i get icons labelled "Access Your Private Data" and "README.TXT"
When I click on "Access Your Private Data" a terminal window opens momentarily and nothing happens.
Following the other option described in "README.TXT"does not seem to do anything. No error message, just another prompt.
I get the feeling I need to put the encryption key in a file on the new computer somewhere, but where? I have the 32 hex digit key for that partition, but how do I get it to be used?
