    I work at a computer repair store and one of my customers brought in his laptop. He had forgotten his password and wanted to fix the problem. I sold him a new hard drive and fixed his laptop. Now I have this 160GB Fujitsu notebook laptop and was wondering if theres anything I can do with it? I wanted to buy an enclosure and make it an external hard drive, but when I tried plugging it in as an external drive to a usb connection, it wont open. I know its encrypted, but is there anyway I can just format the drive and use it?
