TS140 ATA Password Support

I try to get the functionality of a DC S3500 SSD in my TS140 Intel encryption, which requires to define a password for ATA disk. I see no option to set a password for ATA in TS140 bios, but if I set a password for the user on the drive (using hdparm) then the TS140 asking an ATA password at startup, so there is at least some support for the ATA password built in. Problem is that I can't figure out how to set the password correctly, so it can be unlocked via the TS140 bios, I guess that's maybe because the bios makes a kind of password hash like laptops Lenovo?

I tried to set the password as plain text and scan codes using hdparm, but while the reader can be unlocked using hdparm without problem, it cannot be unlocked by the TS140 bios, I just get a message saying that the password is incorrect.

Is it possible to put the ATA password on my drive, so it can be unlocked by the TS140 bios? Am I missing a setting somewhere bios that allows you to set passwords for ATA? Lenovo offers a useful program that can set the ATA password?

AES is available on the Intel drives, but requires to define the ATA password
activate, so TS140 bios is unable to start.

In the end I just loaded an option ROM in an old network card and use
What to send the password for the boot drive and I just ignore the Lenovo
guests of password. Works very well, but that the controller on board can be put
in raid mode.

  • Set password Linux ATA hard drive / Toshiba Satellite Pro U200

    Sorry for the long post, but I want to be as specific as possible:

    1)
    I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 under Linux (OpenSUSE) for some years now. Works fine without problems so far, even the fingerprint reader works. I deleted and never used the Windows XP preinstalled.

    For security reasons, I have now decided to put a HDD ATA password, in case the laptop is lost or stolen (changed drive for a disk Seagate Momentus 7200 FDE.2 SATA II with full encryption of the disk material).

    In order to get the protection offered by the full disk encryption, I need to set a password for the ATA. During startup, the Bios must request the password and unlock the drive only when the password is correct.

    2)
    My problem is: in the Toshiba laptop it is impossible to set the hard drive ATA password directly in the bios (as is possible in HP laptops, for example). Toshiba there is only one way to set the password to disk, which is a software utility for Windows XP (named 'Assist'). But I don't want to change the operating system only to set this password.

    3)
    Therefore, I tried the linux instructions

    hdparm - user-master m - security-all-pass SecretMasterPassword/dev/sda
    hdparm - user-master u - security-all-pass SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    which are used for adjustment ATA passwords. Indeed, at first, it seems to work very well. The password is set and the drive is locked.

    4)
    When I restart the laptop, the Bios the HDD password request, as it should do.

    But he does not accept the SecretUserPassword prior to seizure. The answer is "wrong password", or similar.

    5)
    Analysis:

    I have no doubt that the password has been set correctly: I checked by restarting the laptop through rescue DVD in linux and unlock the disc via

    hdparm - user-master u - safety - unlock SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    in order to use it. No problem, it works as supposed to. After the release, the disc is usable as usual. And I can also disable the password via

    hdparm - user-master u - security - disable SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    After you disable the password, the laptop starts normally again, but I have no password.

    When I re-enable the password bios Toshiba again asks the password during initialization, but does not accept the (correct) password on entry.

    6)
    Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?

    Bios Toshiba has somehow changes the password entered by the user, before being sent to the disk? I think that this would be inconsistent with the ATA standard.

    Anyone managed to set/change the password to ATA in a way that the disc can be unlocked via the internal order of the Bios, without installation of Windows XP and the Toshiba Software 'Assist '?

    Thanks for reading this long post so far. Any response is welcome.

    Hello

    As you probably know Linux is not supported by Toshiba and if you n t get some good advice here I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and try to discuss with experts in Linux it.

  • HP 8560w crashes after the release of sleep, ATA HDD password game

    Hello

    Recently, I have improved my 8560w to windows 8.1, installed a new 520 Intel SSD. When I put a hard drive ATA password (to allow FDE (full disk encryption)), the portable computer cannot resume from SLEEP.

    By pressing FN + F3 puts the laptop on standby. Pressing power button sleep spell, shows the login screen it allows me to type my password, then it will fail to show desktop and windows crashes with an unknown error (which I can't read, since the screen immediately restarts).

    Removal of the HDD ATA password helps, but is not THE solution, since I need the FDE HARD drive.

  • Saved passwords do not work after the automatic update

    Firefox Auto-setting to update itself on a windows 8.1 machine 35.0. But none of the saved passwords work, I see all the passwords in options-> Security-> saved passwords, but when I go on a website he fills the username, but does not have the password. If I manually enter the password that it does not offer to 'save' (so of course that he knows it's a password for this site)

    Very annoying.

    Should I just back up and reinstall 35.0 from scratch?

    I keep backups separated from all my files so I was able to restore passwords support. Apparently during the auto-update feature that something has been corrupted into logins.json or keys3.db cause no amount of re - install firefox on the existing files worked.

  • What would support other mobile next to Tecra A4 my HARD drive

    Toshiba Tecra A4 model number: PTA40E 01500UEN.

    I have a laptop, the foregoing, bought in May2005, so seven years old and starting to show its age.
    I have three hard drives that I use with the laptop, all internal, so I simply unscrew the cover on the underside of the laptop, unplug the internal hard drive and plug it into one of the other drives, according to what I intend to do. All the three internal hard disk are Windows XP, based, but with different applications installed.
    This also works well for me if one of the drives fails. I have two backups etc.

    What I want to know is, what other brand/model of Toshiba laptops would support my drives outside a for like Toshiba Tecra A4.

    Could I connect my hard drives internal on any other laptop model Toshiba and they work very well?
    It s only if and when I buy another laptop if used or new, then I might as well buy a Toshiba laptop that will allow me to plug it into one of my three internal hard drives that I currently use?

    I understand I think laptop internal WHAT BIOS s should recognize the hard disk and the operating system installed on the hard disk. Who else has done and model Toshiba laptops will work with my current Toshiba Tecra A4 of the internal hard drives? Are there, is it possible?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    There are two types of interfaces of HDD: IDE (PATA) and SATA interface.
    As far as I know the old Tecra A4 supports the controller IDE hard disks IDE should be compatible with this laptop.

    In some cases the IDE controller would treat an IDE HDD up to 120 GB because of 28-bit LBA
    Larger hard drives (> 120GB) are supported by ATA - 6 and superior controller for ATA - 6 supports 48-bit LBA.

    Johan

    Hello Johan,.
     
    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community.
     
    I would like to know the brand and model of the Solid State Drive (SSD)?
     
    Here are answers to your question on SSD:
     
    1. no SSD has also problems such partition corruption en lik disk corruption file system hard.
    Response: Yes the SSD may incur this question, the cache is used to help merge written and extend the life of the SSD. If it says in transit, the sudden loss of power is probably the source of your corruption. Real business and industrial SSD have super capacitors that maintain caches of power long enough to move data cache of nonvolatile storage, much in the same way with battery backup and backed the RAID controller Flash work.
    If your drive is not a supercap, flight operations are lost, that is why the corruption of system files.

    2 - does support SSD too ATA password security?
    Response: Yes ATA security password for the SSD is supported.
     
    3 - I read that SSDS using encrypion algorithm to set the data on memory which is not even known bij the user himself.  the corruption of this encryption algoritm can be repaired by a special software!  If so, what software are they?
    Answers: Not sure on any third-party software you can search any software at your own risk. Or the best way to deal with this, by contacting the manufacturer of the SSD.
     
    Hope this information is useful, please answer for assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • Replacement HARD drive & optical drive to Satellite A45-S1202

    Can someone point me to a reader of alternative alternatives other than the CMS (100-250 GB) 5400 RPM 2.5 PATA laptop universal Hard Drives?

    Can I buy from another manufacturer... If so, what readers are recommended?
    I would like more that what came with this particular computer (60 GB), but the price of replacement of Toshiba seems quite steep.

    In addition, the A45-S1202 came with a DVD player / CD - RW. drive.

    Does anyone know of a replacement drive DVDrw/CDrw (DVD burner) that works with this model?

    Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello!

    You can buy a larger HARD drive, it's not a problem.
    Satellite A45 unknown to me but I think the bigger HARD disk should be 120 GB because the laptop has an IDE interface and the standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not recognized.
    So you need a 2.5 HARD disk and 120 GB max.

    I think you also to exchange the drive for a DVD burner, but if you want a new contact a local ASP. They can offer these discs.

    Good bye

    Hello

    AFAIK the L20 supports an IDE interface and standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not be recognized!

    So, I wouldn't recommend taking a 250 GB HARD drive due to compatibility issues
