Info

Update Nov 2, 2018:

Thus far, Lenovo has been unwilling to make changes to this feature.  We still recommend customers to create a support case with Lenovo if possible.

Workarounds:

  1. Remove the drive from the unit, then erase using NIST Purge Level
  2. Erase using NIST Clear Level
  3. BDE 6.6 will include a feature with fallback functionality specific to NIST.  If NIST Purge fails, the customer can automate the workflow to subsequently run NIST Clear.

Update Dec 5, 2019:

Good news! We have found some alternatives allowing to purge successfully some Lenovo models with Blancco Drive Eraser.

Please contact your Blancco Support for additional information.
