Hello,
first post ever here. Bought a Linux PC for Christmas, and really trying to make it work (already installed and configured some programs which I am really proud)
Issue at hand is with working a USB Memory Stick that is actually an old-hard-drive-windows SSD (it used to be the hard drive of an old computer). This is the SSD adapter/enclosure I bought: https://www.amazon.com/SSK-Aluminum-Enclosure-Adapter-External/dp/B07MNFH1PX
I never reformatted it...I just opened my old computer, removed the SSD, and put it into this enclosure. It has been working perfect as a USB Memory Stick when I connect it into any other Windows computer(s).
*However*, when I have tried to use this USB Memory Stick into my Linux PC, it asks me for a 'passcode'. I have tried all the Windows User's passwords that I could remember using back when this Memory Stick SSD used to be the hard drive of my defuncted laptop, to no avail. Further, and weirdly enough, when I go to BIOs on Linux PC with this USB Memory Stick connected to the PC, it gives me the option to boot to Windows besides Linux (?)
Any suggestions / comments are highly welcome please in how I can make work this USB Memory Stick as a memory stick into my Linux PC
