I would strongly suggest that you contact GuardianEdge or the laptop manufacturer and see what they can do for you. Encryption can be a good thing, or very bad, depending on what kind of problem you encounter.

If you decide to write to the drive using any Linux version, you may take the risk of further corrupting your data. It is usually OK to read from an NTFS partition with Linux, but writing to it remains risky, since the drivers used are not genuine Micro$oft. Even the M$ drivers can corrupt the drive.

I would suggest a Windows PE disk or BartPE. They run the native Micro$soft drivers. How to get around the encryption is another issue best left to those that designed it.
