I don't understand exactly what your asking, but if you mean what security
model does NTFS have when someone boots from a floppy, then none -- it's
just a bunch of ones and zeros on a disk.  NTFS security model has to be
enforced by the operating system in some manner, so an OS has to be present
to ensure the 'correctness' of the FS and enforce security.  The point was
that NTFS and windows have a security model which would be circumvented by
such a program, hence it's probably not a good idea to write such a program.
The integrity of the NTFS volume could be compromised and the users' data no
longer secure (as secure as the OS allows).
