If someone has enough access to get to the NTFS partition through a
DOS boot disk then you're doomed anyway - there's nothing to stop them
getting your administrator password, or installing a trojanned
kernel32.dll that captures your passwords and emails them to him, or
whatever  It's a non-issue, really - physical security is last line of
defence - if somone has breached that then it's wipe/reinstall time
anyway (along with firing your security guard).
