Q: Why could the system not boot from the Secure Hard Drive after I entered the User Password? A: The Secure Hard Drive is a full disk encryption device that requires several seconds to unlock after you enter the correct User Password. 1. Press F1 or F12 to pause the boot process to enable the Secure Hard Drive several seconds to unlock itself. 2. Enter the correct User Password and the indicator light turns green. 3. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and the Secure Hard Drive will remain in the User Mode during the reset process and you can then boot from the drive. Q: Why could the system not boot from the Secure Hard Drive when it is attached in a dock? A: As the dock will shut down the power of USB port during warm boot, the Secure Hard Drive could not unlock itself in limited time. An easy solution is to attach the Secure Hard Drive directly to computer (not the dock), and this will enable the computer to boot from the Secure Hard Drive during a recovery process.
