Is there a way to password-protect a hard disk that has SpeedStor
partitions?  I have a C: and a D: drive on one physical drive 
partitioned by SpeedStor.  Not only will most password protection
programs not install on D: because of the modifications that
SpeedStor has made to the drive, but even if they did install on C:
someone could just boot off a floppy with the SpeedStor device
driver and they would have access to both C: and D:.  Can anyone
think of a way to password-protect a SpeedStor drive?  I have written
Storage Dimensions about this, but no one ever wrote back.

Thanks,
Will              (sun!portal!cup.portal.com!Will)
