You should encrypt your filesystem and protect with password. Google CryptofS!

@Garry what about it? – kotekzot – 2012-04-10T19:10:12.950

Some options include:

Disabling the HDDs in the bios.
Unplugging them.
Making a custom live cd that has the behavior you want.
Downloading an alternate live cd that has the behavior you want.
Seeing if the live cd has some startup options allowing you to configure it how you want.

@Garry. I see, then Notinlist's encryption is the right solution. – Kurt – 2010-08-09T10:13:10.387
