Full Disk Encryption is unable to install on SED disks attached to devices using UEFI if these disks were previously managed by Windows Bitlocker. To install Full Disk Encryption on these disks, perform one of the following:
  • Configure Full Disk Encryption to use software-based encryption by adding the FORCESOFTWARE parameter during installation.
    For details, see the Installing the Full Disk Encryption Agent section in the Endpoint Encryption Installation Guide.
  • Restore the SED disk back to its factory setting. This procedure removes all existing data from the SED disk. After the disk has been restored, try running the installer again.
