If the following settings are configured, the erasure will start and Blancco Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 will not attempt the Freeze Lock Removal (FLR) procedure:
Setup to avoid the FLR procedure:
...
- Load Blancco Drive Eraser ISO image on the Drive Eraser Configuration Tool
- Open the “OS” tab
- In the “Booting options” dropdown list, select the value “Customized startup”.
- On the new fields that appear below the dropdown list, select the “flr” checkbox.
- On the dropdown list that appears to the right, select the value “disabled”.
è With these settings, the FLR procedure will be entirely disabled and will not be attempted under any circumstance.
è Any existing freeze lock(s) will remain on the drive(s):
- Most erasure standards (doing normal overwrite) will work without a glitch.
- Some erasure standards/options that require firmware-based erasure commands (e.g. “Blancco SSD Erasure” or “NIST 800-88 Purge” or enabling “Erase Remapped Sectors” on a drive having remapped sectors) will consistently produce failures on those drives.
...
Check Blancco Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 Configuration Tool user manual for more information on the different erasure standards and booting options.
* Note that all these settings (“Erasure Standard”, “Remove Hidden Areas”, “Erase Remapped Sectors” and “Enforce Blancco SSD Method On SSDs”) can be accessed directly from the Blancco Drive Eraser / Blancco 5 user interface (Erasure-step > Advanced-view > Erasure options) starting with version 5.10.0.
