HDD Specifications:
Toshiba MK5065GSXF | HDD2L13 | P TN01 T | 500 GB
Problem:
I would like to make this HDD into a bootable device with clnpwd utility on it that I will connect as one and only storage(SATA slot) to my Acer laptop to force boot from it(as boot menu is not available) and remove supervisor password from BIOS using clnpwnd utility. I was able to successfully make a USB stick(that I tested on another machine) with the exact same purpose but USB-slots are not to be seen by my Acer E5-571G even when I remove HDD and try to force it to boot from them(It says connect emergency device and proceeds to "boot menu" which is just blank).
clnpwd.zip: A look inside clnpwd.zip archive A look inside Ms-Dos System Files subfolder
Context of the problem: How do I reset Aspire E5-571G Insyde BIOS supervisor password?
P.S I used Rufus for the USB stick but it is not possible with HDD
