I got an seagate HDD. Some of it files are crypted with filevault and my cliend asks to decryp them. I have pc3000 UDMA tool. Can some body help me to do it.
Thank you.

FileVault is a full disk encryption system (well, full LVM I guess). So it's impossible that just some of the files are encrypted with it. They either all are, or they're encrypted with something different.

well as I learned during the encryption process computer got frozen and they shut it down manually. after that they formatted it. right now I am trying to get these files from format after that it scares me to face with these filevault encrypted files.

In that case they are in really tough shape. You've got to hope the DEK wasn't overwritten by the format. Could be totally screwed.
