- Some devices require the BIOS/UEFI to be switched from RAID to AHCI mode in order to successfully present the drive to the system.
- Usually this setting is available through "SATA Operation Mode" or "SATA Controller" (or similar) option in the BIOS.
- If the device's controller doesn't support AHCI mode, you can remove the drive from the machine and run the erasure by connecting the drive to a supported machine.
