I want to use the secure erase tool to wipe the disk of this computer.

It doesn't show up when I select the secure erase option nor going to the boot menu.

The disk does indeed boot into windows and all, but I just can't format it from the HP Bios.

I have updated the BIOS version and it's still not showing up.

Is there any known solutions to make the BIOS detect this SSD?

I need to wipe other 50 computers and this is going to be a major slow down if I have to remove the disk from the computer and connect it to my computer.

The drive lock option doesn't detect the disk either.

Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!!!
