You can configure your main Driver (C: for example), in the Setup (CTRL +
ALT + DEL), for to be the first that the system looking for.boot. so,
somebody never get a boot with installation diskette.
But, somebody can change your configuration, for to prevent, you can put
passwords for the boot and fot to access the Setup (two different
passwords), you can do this in the Setup.
With this, if you never forget your computer ON when you are away, nobody
get access it.
