I tried to connect my portable harddisk to my Fujitsu laptop but everytime i do so, it prompt me an error to format the drive. It state in the error that possible that my encryption key is not setup properly. How do i setup the key? The drive work fine when i connect to other pc or laptops. When i choose to format the drive as the error instructed. I was able to use the drive on my laptop but receive similar error from other pc and laptops. What may be the issue?

To be secure the harddrive can only be read by the computer where the encryption was originally set up.

Turn off the encryption and it should be readable on all systems - but of course, unsecure.
