I have no idea what your question means - and neither, I suspect, do you.

Sebastian, to be plonked by you and never again have you make another of
your idiotic replies to my posts would be heaven on earth.

Jetico doesn't claim Bestcrypt to be WD encryption, in fact they
call it something else completely and go out of their way to make
readers aware that the differences should be considered.
Bestcrypt isn't even mistakenly listed on any independent site that
categorizes or reviews encryption software, as whole disk. Nowhere.
The only one running around like their head is on fire screaming IS
TO! IS TO! IS TO! in between hiding from the aforementioned
description is you
Has it even crossed your mind yet why that might be? Why you think
your interpretation is "right" and the entire rest of the world is
wrong?
There's a medical term for that state of mind, nemo_outis.

You've already been given a cite explaining exactly how and why
unencrypted partition tables are a risk. How they can in FACT aid
in the cryptanalysis of an encrypted volume, and you damned well
know it or you wouldn't have made a pathetic attempt to twist
things into some discussion of absolutes.

That's sort of like saying CorningWare doesn't support baked chicken
because they don't specifically give you a recipe. Never mind the specs
regarding oven temperatures, since it doesn't say "Good for Chicken!"
on the box tetrazzini is a "hack" in the Nimrod_Outhouse dictionary of
self serving redefinitions.
Damn sonny, you lost like three this week? Bestcrypt, Truecrypt, and
bootstrapping?
Is that a personal best, or have you actually done better?

Actually, there's all sorts of hardware based encryption for hard
drives. AES256 is becoming pretty popular in replacement notebook
drives I hear. As to "back doors", I'll happily leave that to the
conspiracy nuts. It's not relevant to this particular debate anyway.
Arguably, hardware could be the only "pure" form of FD-OTFE since all
other schemes require an unencrypted stub somewhere, and almost
certainly it's what the poster was referring to. It fits all the
requirements... OS booting from a thoroughly encrypted drive, no MBR
tricks, no third party software, pre-boot auth, etc...
So yes, one can "boot Winblows from a completely encrypted drive". And
yes, it's a pretty obvious answer when you think about it.

Hard disk encryption currently suffers from problems (besides the
possibility of backdoors) that generally render it suitable only for
"light duty" use (although the situation is slowly improving):
1) The HD spec itself provides for a 2-level (user & admin) password
locking (not encryption) scheme for ALL compliant IDE/SATA drives without
which drive access (in the ordinary way) is impossible. Many laptops
have supported this for years (including a handoff in the BIOS to avoid a
lot of manual thrashing about) and it has migrated to a few desktop style
machines (i.e. MBs) as well. The problem is a) by definition the key is
squirreled away on that very same HD somewhere, and b) the data is not
encrypted, only access is blocked. While this thwarts most users there
are a number of specialty data recovery houses that can unlock such
drives. I used to use ATAPWD to mess with these passwords manually.
2. Seagate is the only HD manufacturer which provides native HD
encryption. Seagate Momentus laptop 2.5-inch drives provide a halfway
decent encryption scheme (and Seagate has promised to migrate the
technology to desktop, etc. 3.5-inch form factor drives "real soon now").
It uses 3DES encryption (in ECB mode?) and stores the key in a chip on
the drive electronics. How secure this chip is, is open to question.
3. There are a number of add-on boards for do-it-yourself hardware
encryption. I've posted about them on this and other newsgroups in the
past. Most of these are only 40-bit (sheesh!) although a few are 128-bit
or 3DES. Moreover, all the common ones only use ECB mode with no salt,
etc. - which, to put it mildly, stinks! There may be some better boards
available from some specialty manufacturers but they are far from
mainstream.
In short, hardware encryption is a great idea, but (most of?) the current
implementations are not ready for prime time.
And even when a really good hardware HD encryption system comes along
there will likely still be the problem that (almost all) hardware is
inherently closed source (unless you want to burn your own FPGA :-)

No, his points were completely answered long ago, even though he - and now
you - seem too stupid to realize it. I could, I suppose, reply with the
standard order a judge gives when someone raises - for the umpteenth time -
a question that was already responded to much earlier:

Please, you can pretend to be correct to your heart's desire.
Nobody will be offended by your ostentatious charade.
In the end the only person you'll be harming is yourself.
But, whatever you do, don't think for one moment that
we don't know that you are pretending to be correct.

Feel free to call whatever dreck you wish evidence, and then feel free to
misinterpret it however suits you.

Re: Truecrypt 5.0 Released (now with system partition encryption)
An accurate indication of a person's overall worth to society would
be their ability
to admit to being wrong when shown to be so by more than one person, on
several
different occasions. I think it's fair to say that over the past few
days you have
gravely missed many opportunities to rectify your mistakes. And, in so
doing, you
have disclosed a very apparent lack of any mental fortitude, or true
integrity of spirit
and strength of character.
To put it bluntly, you have revealed yourself as being rather worthless.
