Subject: Re: big problem with locked drive

Re: big problem with locked drive

I don't see the command named security erase prepare and security erase
unit. I can choose prepare to erase unit and the program says command
complete, but when i then select erase unit i get the error "command
rejected by drive" again. Seems as if this way doesn't work. Are there any
other ways to solve the problem?
