Access and format hard-disk to install linux

martintian · 07-05-2018, 01:29 PM

Hello,

My HP EliteBook 840 G1 can NOT booted, looks like locked by BItlocker.

Now I don't care the contents of harddisk, Just want to install Linux on it.

But I can NOT access the hardisk at all.

1) I do not care the data on the harddisk, It's better I can format it then I can have a clean install.

2) I want to make the harddisk availale & accessable that I can install liux,

but my Ubuntu linux can only run on the usd drive connected to this laptop.the installation doesn't recognize the hard-disk.

Thanks

Looks like you possibly need firmware update to use this "Customized Boot" feature
