Any user with equal to [insert user name]'s access rights or better can
access the contents of the HDD.

The whole notion of your question has turned my grey matter into threads of
spaghetti-like mash and produced a headache of magnanimous proportions...

Look, would it help if I volunteered the story of my having once booted a
State Police PC with my Puppy linux USB stick, giving the ability to read
-every- file on the HDD (admittedly only a WinXP-Pro)?  THe same would be
true of any linux PC and a rescue CD, and any variation in between, etc,
etc... ad infinitum.  However, can Windows-anything read a linux partition?

Oh, the pain...

Cheers,
Paul.
