2. after format they can access your hd but not your files. Folder Guard can hide your personal folders from other users. 3. i can't give u % cs it's a big responsibility to say it's 100% safe

-Anyone can bypass the bios password (shi 2el battery for 5 min you get access...)
-They can bypass the vista user password by a simple booting cd(if they have it...) -And I don't think they are smart enough to bypass folderguard... |

bios pass: removed by a 2 minutes battery removal (too bad)
i know nothing about HDD pass vista pass is surely bypassable (what if they remove the HDD and put it in slave mode with other computer) "LINUX" is your worst enemy now. chances of keeping your data safe depends on the reason for stealing it, if they meant to steal the data, they will access it with 60% chance of success, while if they stole the PC for its value, the ony thing they will do is to format or restore to factory form. wish you the best.
