Hi I have connected a HDD to my win 11 PC with an ide/sata adapter and am trying to wipe and encrypt with bitlocker. Problem is bitlocker keeps locking the drive mid operation. I have resorted to using PowerToys Awake tool to make sure that this is nothign to do with Win 11 not respecting the power and sleep settings as configured. But it also happens as I sit here typing. Can anyoen give me some ideas as to what else might be the problem here?
