What seems to me is that you are ignoring a very importing flaw in the windows root kits..lets say if you hide a folder or a file..yes you won't see it but only if you try to see it with that computer....but if you use other system to see .. you are going to see that the folder is there...

simple change the hard drive to other pc and boot from other disk. (maybe not possoble with big server but is good solution for personal systens) who says this says more radical solutions.

only an opinion. take care!!
