HP 840 G4 - NVME SSD - BIOS ATA Password Support or Bitlocker Hardware Encryption Support

$

Dear community,
I have following task: I want to use the build in hardware encryption of a SSD with hardware encryption support.

Notebook: HP Elitebook 840 G4
SSD: NVME M.2 PCIe Samsung 970 PRO 1TB

Following encryption possibilites are supported by the SSD:

class0: works with bios ATA password and ATA security, for NVME drives the UEFI firmware must implement the UEFI ATA Pass-through protocol or the UEFI Security Command Protocol

TCG Opal: Winmagic SecureDoc oder SedUtil is necessary for encryption.

eDrive IEEE-1667: This is used for bitlocker hardware encryption with windows 10. But the UEFI must support this.

Problem Description:

The UEFI of the 840 G4 supports neither the Bios ATA Password method for NVME drives (Drivelock) nor the bitlocker hardware encryption. Same companies like Lenovo have already updated the UEFI of their newer machines to support this. E.g. the Thinkpad T480s supports both Bios Password and bitlocker hardware encryption for NVME drives.

I have a strict specification for a full disk encryption which can be done at best with a Bios ATA Password, bitlocker with hardware encryption whould be my second choice.

Is HP planning to update the UEFI firmware of the 840 G4 to support both or one of both: Bios ATA password (Drivelock) and bitlocker for NVME drives?

Thank you very much for all of your help.

How to UEFI boot directly from a GPT formatted MSATA card ?

$

Hi all,

I've managed to boot firectly from the mSATA card (in the internal eSATA slot) using MBR and WIndows 10 1803.

Also, using MBR2GPT to change the drive format to GPT was successful, but neither UEFI Hybrid nor UEFI Naitive will boot. It just complains that no boot drive is found.

Since booting from MBR works just fine, I'm surprised that UEFI boot fails.

What am I doing wrong here?

My notebook turns end on but I'm black screen then shut off after

Hi I just bought this laptop, but the person using it is a professional typist, they need the CTRL and FN buttons swapped.  I looked in the bios but i don't see anywhere to set this.  We don't want to retun the laptop, but i think we may have to if there is no way to swap these buttons.

 

Thanks.

I Have completely blanked on the Administrative BIOS startup password! I've also scowered the internet for any backdoor or master password including the www.BIOS-PW.org for keys, all in VEINs. Now short of consuming massive amounts of stimulants then binge watching multiple YouTube teardown videos that will only feed into my now spiraling out of control ideas of Do-It-Yourselfers with Old Broken Laptops because even though Mine isn't broken I know that at the end of this Tweeker Challenge their will be atleast 3 different Pc's torn apart yet connected together with what looks like old nokia cell phone displays wired together and that the only thing I'm Absolutely Positive of at that point is that those Techno Remixes playing in every YouTube video are Just AWESOME!!!yeah short of that I'm stumped. The code it gives me is

Hello, I updated my elitebook 840g1 with the latest bios (1.46) as given in the product drivers page. The laptop lost the bios data and it says that it is "illegal" and I have to contact HP. The screen is black and the cap lock key and the num lock key are blinking . Seconds after, the fan high speed can be heard with nothing on the screen. Any chance to correct this? Cheers.
