我拿到了一台旧的戴尔 E6410 笔记本电脑，里面有一个硬件 FDE Seagate Momentus 7200 FDE2 硬盘，我想在这台机器上安装 Linux。
当我从运行 Linux live 的 USB 驱动器启动时，所连接的磁盘仅显示一个分区 - MBR，大小为 128 MB。笔记本电脑启动后，硬盘没有设置 BIOS 级密码。POST 后，出现指向“wave.com”（用于 Wave Systems 磁盘加密）的磁盘加密提示，输入正确的用户名和密码后，磁盘解锁并启动到已安装的 Win 7。现在我打算关闭 Windows 并运行 Linux。但是一旦 Linux 启动，根本没有磁盘可以清理/解锁。hdparm似乎无法解锁驱动器，因为它报告它已经解锁。我在 hddgurus、Dell & Seagate 和其他各种论坛上搜索都无济于事，wave 显然已关闭，他们不再提供任何支持。

hdparm --security-unlock或者--security-disable似乎不起作用，因为磁盘只显示一个分区并且没有设置任何内容。
hdparm 论坛提到，这Master password revision code = 65534意味着主密码（如在https://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/disc/manuals/notebook/momentus/FDE.2ProdManual.pdf, “ATA 主密码设置为安全 ID (SID)。” ) 可用。但由于没有任何工具（hdparm，甚至大使馆安全中心 TDM）可用于让驱动器禁用基于硬件的 FDE。
关于如何最好地进行的任何提示？我是否最好将磁盘扔掉并使用新磁盘？
这是一个完全未使用的 250 GB 7.2K rpm 驱动器，将其扔掉似乎非常浪费。
