Hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) problems Problem: After setting a hard disk password on the HDD or SSD of the computer, you moved the drive to another computer. Now you cannot unlock the hard disk password. Solution: Your computer supports an enhanced password algorithm. Computers older than yours may not support such a security function. If you have set a hard disk password with Using Passphrase enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility, and want to use the HDD or SSD in an older computer: 1. Remove the hard disk password on your computer. 2. Move the HDD or SSD to the older computer. Problem: You cannot hot-swap the HDD or SSD in the Ultrabay. Solution: You can hot-swap an HDD or SSD in the Ultrabay only if no hard disk password has been set. Make sure that the password for the HDD or SSD in the Ultrabay is disabled. Chapter 3.
