I've two questions on Secure startup that is explained here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/pcdesign/secure-start_exec.mspx
1. Is the key to the encrypted disk available only to the operating system that set
it up? What if I have two OSes on my system and want to share a partition with the
other operating system.
2. How about the case where I want to move the harddisk to another computer and want
to use it just for space and not for installing OS? if the key resides on the motherboard,
how will it work with upgrade or replacement of the motherboard?
If anyone understands Secure startup and has answers to these questions, I would
appreciate knowing them. Thanks!

Secure Startup is optional and can be turned on and off at user's will. When off,
the secured partition becomes a regular NTFS volume fully accessible from any NTFS-compatible
OS.
