I agree with Jim. In addition, this is only a threat to people who do not use a password. If the drive has an existing password, the password must be entered to gain access to the drive.
Curtis,
If the BIOS doesn't support security at all I can't boot from a password protected drive. Setting a password will not do much good in that case.
Besides that how many people do actually use the password at their desktop system?
Sincerely, Thomas
