In the past I used a public domain software item to protect my hard disk.  It
Asked for a password at HD boot time.  I used it on an XT, and although it
would boot from the floppy, any attempt to read the HD resulted in an 
Invalid Drive Specification   error.  So it is possible.  BTW:  if you have an
AMI Bios, it should have a Hardware protection system.  I can't remember the
name of the program that I mentioned above, but will look it up and send
details to anyone who wants them.

Simon.
