With the Seagate like other encrypting drives, the user has to authenticate to the drive before ANY OS could take over control. Before a successful authentication to the drive the data partitions of the drive (containing
OS...) are invisible to the BIOS - only the pre-boot environment is visible and thus can be executed.
