Can Virus damage encrypted drives

[Saito_Nakamura]

If i have three drives and two of drives are encrypted and locked using windows default encryption. Can virus from third drive which is unlocked spread to other drives and damage files in them

This really depends.

 

If the drive is unlocked it normally behves like a normal drive, programs can read and write to it without a issue.

 

You also need the virus to be running, a virus executable isn't. issue, unless its started(but there are lots of tricks to get it running)

 

EDIT: you really should try to remove the virus if you think there might be one, no reason to risk it here. Id get a offline system to scan the drive if your unsure.
