Is this supposed to be news? That you can access the hard drive without using
the operating system if you have physical access to the machine?
Same goes for NTFSDOS, or any other tool that allows you to boot and read NTFS
files [and it's one reason why some like to use EFS on their sensitive files,
or simply lock their servers away in a closed room].
Whoop-de-fricking-doo. If this is the best you can come up with as a major
vulnerability, then perhaps Microsoft's code is very secure. Name me a major
OS (i.e. not a research project - something a company might actually _use_)
that prevents file access when the machine is subject to physical access.
