Hi experts.<br />
<br />
Using Samsung's Magician software, I enabled the self encrypting capabilities of that drive (&quot;Encrypted Drive&quot;).<br />
Now I have reasons to undo that, but magician says<br />

<blockquote>
Once Encrypted Drive is enabled, it cannot be disabled directly or reverted to ‘Ready to enable status' by the user using Magician. Please contact the supplier of the subject operation system (Microsoft) or customer support for details.
</blockquote>
Since I don't like Samsung's support so far and since I am sure Microsoft will not know, I came here, first :)<br />

How to disable it?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
