Hello Reader,
Another great week of reading your submissions. I'm loving how the extra time is really letting people push the 'most complete answer' portion of the rules. Every week I'm hard pressed to decide who should win but there is always one thing within the answer that pushes it over the top and makes it a winner. Last week it was not just testing the timezone's set but how the dates themselves are set for accuracy on a per operating system basis. Let's see what happens this week!
I taught a great FOR500 class in Canberra this week and when I teach I always get a new question that needs an answer. So here is this week's bitlocker based Sunday Funday.
The Prize:

2. Can you boot to alternative media while it boots?
3. Can you access the drive if you prevent the reboot process from completing?
4. What is the mechanism that Windows is using to do this?
