Windows 2000, of course, doesn't allow Recovery Console users to access a hard drive without a password, if one previously existed.
If someone says: "If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore." That's all well and good - but the fact remains that Windows 2000 doesn't allow anyone with an old CD to get password-free access, and Windows XP does.
So it
is XP's fault!
