I have installed my new Falcon 64GB SATA drive in the Lenovo S10-3. When setting harddisk password in BIOS (latest S10-3 BIOS), it blocks the drive and will not boot, will not recognise the harddisk password set in BIOS, and it is impossible to clear the harddisk password in BIOS. I am running firmware 1916 on the Falcon, and I need to re-flash the drive on another PC in order to set the drive back to its original state, for then to re-install Windows 7, etc.... When installed in another machine, cannot format the drive, get an I/O error, need to re-flash with firmware 1916.
Any way it would be possible to secure the Falcon with a harddisk password? If not, how do I protect the data (OS on a C partition and data on the D partition) so the data is inaccessible should I lose the Lenovo. I mean, even though the thief could not enter BIOS, power-on password and Windows logon password, could not s/he not just install the drive in another PC, and read the data from there?
Any ideas? Will BitLocker in Windows 7 Ultimate work? Any other encryption software or harddisk password software out there which will work OK?
Thanx.
