You can create a password reset floppy from any installation, and the worst
about Free CompuSec is that it will work on any other machine.

I'd bring to the table Pointsec - we use this and it's good and scales
to the enterprise for key recovery etc, and also potentially MS
Bitlocker in Vista. Not used the latter, obviously treat with
caution, but it does seem to be ticking the boxes so far from brief
conversations with our architects...

Haven't been able to verify it (I only have Vista Home Premium), but
I've heard that Bitlocker only encrypts the system partition, not any
additional partitions.

Can anybody confirm or deny this?
