This is the problematic step. If you came to my computer with your USB key and asked to install a program so that you could use your key, I would not let you. Nor could you use it at a public facility such as a library. > 3. Mount the un-partitioned disk (on the USB) drive.

Should I be worried? For that matter, do you have the address of some keylogging software that I could play with in a virtual Windows machine? I have googled just now, but I cannot find anything that doesn't cost money. I will be responsible with it, I promise, but in any case you might want to send a link or info off-list just in case.
