The first time, it will check if the workstation is compatible with EFDE and can be encrypted. It is highly recommended to set the pre-boot password before the next restart to proceed in the encryption process.Ī computer restart is required to initiate Safe Start to check hardware and firmware compatibility and perform initialization.Īfter the product is successfully installed, this error message will indicate that the next required step is to reboot the workstation to initiate the EFDE SafeStart mode. This error indicates that user interaction on the workstation is required. Your computer is ready to begin encryption, but it is currently waiting for a configured pre-boot password.
