This solution works great in this case. Thanks for your helpful response.
hello, I have been using DBAN for many years. I have encountered the missing driver error before, and will usually go find a manufacturer tool to secure erase a disk or reset cryptographic key. in this case, the manufacturer (Lenovo) does not support their own secure erase tool on this device, and the bios built in utility is failing without providing an error. I have used DBAN 2.3.0 and my usual fallback 2.2.8 without success. I have tried running autonuke as this sometimes works, also without success....
