With the Seagate like other encrypting drives, the user has to authenticate
to the drive before ANY OS could take over control. Before a successful
authentication to the drive the data partitions of the drive (containing

OS...) are invisible to the BIOS - only the pre-boot environment is visible
and thus can be executed.
