10.4 Removing the PBA

This section applies to self-encrypting hard drives. It does not apply to standard hard drives.

When you remove the ZENworks PBA, the Linux system and PBA components are removed from the disks MBR shadow. The device then boots directly to the Windows operating system.

    The Emergency Recovery application removes the ZENworks PBA and unlocks the self-encrypting hard disk.

  3. When the removal process is complete, click File > Exit to close the application.

  4. Restart the device.

    The device boots to Windows.
