[Wolves] Fwd: Wave security on mstata drive

Wed Nov 9 20:04:46 UTC 2022

ite shame i did not read this correctly my dyslexia bad. anyway not
your fault.. i sent the laptop back to the owner with new msata drive
in it.. he was ok in the end to pay £45 for a new drive(which seems a
lot too me) but i guess he wants a working laptop and that fixed the
issue anda fresh install of windows 10 on it , he could not believe
how fast windows 10 should be.. also upgrades it too 12gb of memory ,
extra 8gb simm from cex.. he just said what ever it takes to get
running at good spend he was ok with..

i have tried that util but can't work out how it works with external
usb caddy for msata card. i got this one from ebay..

i am in the jisti meeting now if you free.

he brought me this one a few months ago but i can't get this one too
work ( he did not ask me what to buy just brought me a random thing to
do with msata off ebay)
