Securing Data on a Notebook

One of my clients has some very sensitive data on his notebook which
is running XP PRO sp2.
He has used a strong Administrator's password and has disabled the
Guest account.
He does not plan to access the Internet or use Email.
Basically, the notebook is for Word and Excel.

Can files be copied in DOS or SAFE mode?
Can Spyware programs be installed?

TIA.
