**** This is not a query about how to secure-erase your drive. I have done that. *****
Intel DH67CL1 updated to latest BIOS version. this BIOS has a UEFI mode also in case GPT is needed.
PROBLEM: Intel 330 series *unpartitioned* new, 180GB SSD is shown "frozen"(Security freeze lock) and I secure erased once. but, on nex boot, BIOS after detecting SSD, security freeze locks it. This SSD has no Data, it is a fresh one unpartitioned and yet security freeze locked!
My question is, if I want to install Operating System, how can I achieve if BIOS kepts locking SSD?
Shall I do another secure-erase and disconnect SSD sata power cable and reconnect after BIOS loads? this way, BIOS will skip the drive and drive will be in unfreezed state and OS can be installed.
But..But.. Once I install OS, on next boot BIOS will again security freeze lock it; right? Is that OK?
I am not sure how Security freeze lock works. if freeze lock enabled after OS install, is that means I cannot write into SSD?
It is impractical to remove and reconnect SSD after BIOS loads each time.
Please suggest a solution.
