By default, it uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in cipher block chaining (CBC) or "xor–encrypt–xor (XEX)-based Tweaked codebook mode with ciphertext Stealing" (XTS) mode with a 128-bit or 256-bit key. CBC is not used over the whole disk; it is applied to each individual sector.

# Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft

Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft was a legal case in 2004. It was between the company Microsoft and a 17-year-old student from Canada named Mike Rowe. Rowe made a website called **MikeRoweSoft.com**. The name sounded like "Microsoft". Microsoft said this was too close to their company name and asked him to give it up.

## Background

Since my name is Mike Rowe, I thought it would be funny to add "soft" to the end of it.

– Mike Rowe

Mike Rowe made the website in 2003 for his small web design business. He chose the name as a joke, using his real name and adding "soft". Microsoft said this broke their trademark and first offered him $10 to give up the name.

Rowe asked for $10,000 instead. Microsoft then sent him a long legal letter. They said he was cybersquatting, which means using a name to get money from a big company.

## Public reaction and deal

The story became popular in the news. Many people supported Rowe. His website got so many visitors that it went offline. Microsoft got bad publicity and later agreed to a deal.

Rowe gave Microsoft the website name. In return, he got:

* an Xbox with games
* a trip to Microsoft in Redmond, Washington
* help with Microsoft training
* money to pay his costs
* a subscription to a Microsoft developer program

He made a new website called MikeRoweForums.com. Rowe also gave most of the money people sent him to a children's charity called Canuck Place.

## After the case

We take our trademark seriously, but in this case maybe a little too seriously.

– Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler

After the case, Rowe sold the legal papers on eBay. Many people looked at the auction, but most of the high bids were fake. The real final price was $1,037.

Later, Microsoft said they may have been too strict. Some experts said Microsoft had to protect their trademark. Others said Rowe could have won because he was using his real name.

# NTLDR

**NTLDR** was the program that loaded Windows NT based operating systems until Windows Vista where it was replaced with BOOTMGR. It is run from the C: drive but can also run off of a USB flash drive or DVD-ROM. It can also load non Windows based operating systems such as Ubuntu.

NTLDR needs two files on the C: drive so it can work:

* ntldr, the program that does the actual loading
* NTDETECT.COM, needed for loading NT-based operating systems

Another important file is a the boot.ini which contains the settings for booting.
