Some drives have ATA commands to password protect the disk. This password needs to be entered each time the disk is powered on and without it the disk refuses to honor most disk commands. Its not as good as cryptographically protecting your data, but it should prevent anyone from casually booting from alternate media and reading or even modifying your whole filesystem. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
