Don't think so.  There really is a way of locking the disk using
software.

Look for something called 'LockVol�'.  It's freeware IIRC and
allows you to set hardware or software locks on a hard disk.
You would have to make a startup disk with this on.  Should
be easy.

There are reasons to want to do this, but they're strange.
I suppose it might happen by accident but I've not heard of it.
Seems more likely that your disk is suffering from really low
level corruption that has affected your partition table.  Not
good news.
