Dear All,
I am trying to get Bitlocker (Win 8.1) to use the self encryption function of the Samsung EVO 840 to run. I have been able to
overcome several issues but now I am stuck on the BIOS process.
I have set up the BIOS to UEFI, I have deactivate the TPM on Windows, Bitlocker identifies the SED and also is ready to encrypt but
1. If I select a password, I am able to encrypt the drive. But the system are not able to boot on it because I don't get any password mask
to enter the password.
NO password, NO encryption, NO boot. TO get access to the disk again an other windows was required.
2. If I select USB Protection, I am able to create the USB Key, after that windows offers to restart the PC to run a compability check. Unfortunately
the systems end up on a infinite loop on the boot process. If I disconnect the USB the boot process works again. And I am able to access windows again.
Unfortunaltely I get then the error message that the system does not have a compatible hardware for SED.
Does anyone have been able to make a similar configuration to work?
Any ideas how to solve it? It seems to be a USB recognition issue.
Best Regards
Markus
