This decryption can be provided by an additional, removal media. The media
only decrypts the the boot loader mini driver, which is turn will decrypt
the relevant files, boot up the Windows kernel and pass over control to the
actual decryption driver.

TrueCrypt does not support this scheme. PGP Whole Disk Encryption does, and
some other claim to do so as well.


Indeed, in his special limitation where no such external boot loader is
used, it's of course nonsense.
