Latitude E6420 May not boot after Encryption

A user may report their Latitude E6420 will not boot to Windows after encrypting the Hard Drive using McAfee Endpoint Encryption for PC (EEPC) versions 5.2.0 to 5.2.9.
When the system restarts, only a blank screen is shown.

This issue only occurs if the SATA Operation setting in the BIOS is set to RAID On (IRRT).
