Sophos SafeGuard Disk Encryption (SDE): Windows recovery console detected as operating system

Issue
You have installed the Windows Recovery console on your computer. When you attempt to install SDE on the computer, SDE identifies the recovery console as an additional operating system.

What to do

When you install the Windows Recovery Console, your boot.ini file is edited to include an option to boot to the Windows recovery console.

Remove the Windows recovery console from your computer. The Windows Recovery Console is considered a separate operating system: installing SDE on a computer running more than one operating system is not supported by Sophos.
