File Share Encryption

I have just installed a new SSD (Samsung EVO 850 250GB) in the laptop.  Previously, the 500GB SATA drive was encypted.  Prior to cloning, I decrypted the drive, then cloned.  The new SSD boots fine, but when trying to encrypt the drive, I get this error:

Error code -12000: bad parameters

I've been trying this from the GUI and CLI.  CLI command was:

pgpwde --encrypt --disk 0 -p PASSWORD --interactive

The bootloader and password is now there however - just not encrypted drive.

Does anyone have any ideas?  Using Symantec Encryption Desktop v10.3.2 MP2 Build 15413

The Samsung EVO 850 may have hardware based self-encryption, which may prevent the product from encrypting the drive.  What is the specific model number of the drive?  There are non-encrypting versions available as well.

You should check with th Samsung Magician software.  On the security portion of the interface, it will tell you if the drive is self-encrypting, and what modes are available.

The EVO 850 does support hardware encryption - however it is currently disabled when I look at Magician.  

I can't find any specific model number other than details such as Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB.

What OS (Windows 7, 8, or 8.1) are you working with, and is it 32- or 64-bit?
