Hello, I am trying to reuse a laptop that has encrypted harddrive. I no longer care what it is on there, just need to be able to clean the harddrive and move on.

Upon booting to windows using the Windows XP professional disk, it could not recognize that is is a drive. Is that because the drive is encrypted and is there a way for me to just clean the drive?
