Thanks for the links. The 1st one is the exact tech note that tells one to
disable the Jet Engine and how to re-enable on the WorkArounds.

The others do not mention what happens or how to fix when the re-enabling
fails.

I am 99.9% sure this drive was not compromised. Why? It's never been hooked
up to the internet. Yet, mandates from upon high (management) say 'you have
to disable this'. (Ridiculous if you ask me, that one has to do things for
computers to prevent it from attack when it'll never be effected through the
internet or e-mail).

Yet, also, no one around here where I'm located knows how to re-enable it.
