[wade]

Hi 

I have us MDE 7.2.10 and use Opal SED driver to do Opal encrypt on Boot disk, and after setting and sent wake up agent , but it very soon to show encrypted message and not show any % progress in tool,

is that correct behavior?

If you are using the OPAL provider, then yes, it does sound correct.  When using the OPAL provider, MDE is managing the existing hardware encryption so it is more of an "on/off" than a process of encrypting that would have a progress bar or percentage to monitor.
