Solve : Secure Erase Kingston Freeze Lock?

Answer» <html><body><p>Greetings! <br/><br/>I have a Kingston 240gb SSD that i am trying to secure erase using the Kingston software that is provided <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/online-1001" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ONLINE">ONLINE</a>. I have the drive set up as a slave and the software sees the drive as a slave drive. However when i try to secure erase it claims i need to pass a freeze lock. To do so i need to unplug the sata power connection and replug it in. Ive tried this multiple times and still i cannot get the program to allow me to secure erase. Am i doing something wrong? <br/><br/>The software states that if this does not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/work-20377" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORK">WORK</a>, i should look into some different sata drivers. I am using a gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H board with a i7-4770. Any help is appreciated. <br/><br/>Thanks. <br/>I can't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/find-11616" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIND">FIND</a> any clear information on what the "Freeze Lock" state could mean.<br/><br/>You might try using a tool like parted Magic, that has an NBAN tool (based on DBAN) which provides a secure erase function.<br/><br/>What im attempting to do is at this link. <br/><br/>Specifically the last page of this PDF. Unplugging and plugging in the secondary drive should unlock it. It does not sadly. <br/><br/><a href="https://media.kingston.com/support/downloads/secure-erase-user-guide_ksm.pdf">https://media.kingston.com/support/downloads/secure-erase-user-guide_ksm.pdf</a>Hi<br/>Did you remove all the partitions from the drive first as <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/described-2572959" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESCRIBED">DESCRIBED</a> in the instructions ?<br/>In windows drive management you can check if the drive is locked.  If it is, you can unlock it with the right mouse click <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/menu-246398" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MENU">MENU</a> <br/><br/>hi Lisa. <br/><br/>Yes I have removed all the partitions. Im on the last step trying to unlock it. Under drive management there is no option to unlock it. There are options to create a simple volume, properties and help. That is all.</p></body></html>
