This may seem like an odd ball question. I have a sister
who asked me to look at her husbands computer.
They are going through a divorce, she wants to
know what is on his computer. He is a computer
security specialist dealing with banking networks.
She believes he husband has been viewing/
downloading/storing illegal porn.
He's an asshole who is leaving her with 5
children, he's been very abusive to her.
She is desperate for help.
So I too am desperate to help her.
Now, I looked at the computer.
When I first went to it, it had a
Windows logon screen.
But we didn't know the logon.
I thought that perhaps I could
start the computer in safe mode.
But once I hit the reset switch,
it seemed to reboot, but the monitor was totally
black, I did a raster/degaus check and it said
there was no video signal. But I could see the
hard drive lighting up, and the floppy light coming on.
It also apeared to have a CD Zip drive as the
1st boot device(nothing in it). I tried switching monitors,
same thing, no signal. He also has a HD lock
on the case.
Is it possible to set the bios so that the video
card will no work without the proper boot disk?
My sister also told me, that one day he
forgot to set his desktop and left the
system open. She told me that there
appeared to be two identical sized
HD's both about 28 GB in size.
Two partitions on a single drive?
My question is, how can I access this thing?
Can I remove the HD, install it
on another system and make a duplicate mirror of the HD?
What about the HD case lock?
Please help, thanks in advance.
Justin

Call be cynical ("You're cynical! <points>), but this sounds like someone's
exam question.
In RL, no spouse (even the most poisonous kind) will happen to notice
details about partition sizes while forgetting his/her password.
Cutting through the crap, it's perfectly possible to utilise a boot disk
that doesn't sit in the "offending" hardware. But (again reverting to RL),
it's far more likely that some idiot has left a disk in either the floppy to
CD-ROM drive, rather than requiring an "ali kazam" solution.
And, even then, anyome with the nonce will have either a backup, or a way of
generating a pseudo-backup disk that relies on a "personal secret"
(typically a password)
