When I power on my PC, this error appears that asks me to press F1 each time. I think it’s related to the HDD type and its hardware encryption. I’m not sure how to turn it off. My drive is a Seagate Constellation ES.3 1TB.

Check if you have a Raid array installed. If not, turn it off. If it is active, back up your data first before disabling it.

Ensure the system is encrypted using BitLocker Search for Control Panel. Choose your storage device and disable BitLocker. If RAID isn’t needed, restart in BIOS, find Hard Drive Mode, and switch from RAID to AHCI.

Changing from RAID to AHCI may introduce risks such as data corruption or loss if not handled properly. Always back up data before making the switch.

The system might fail to start, allowing you to access the setup menu (BIOS) and revert changes. No data loss expected, but ensure you have a backup or system image ready before moving forward.
