Wrong. Most harddisks today have a special jumper. If set, the disk is
read-only and there is nothing you can do except physically remove it. If
you take a cabled jumper and connect it to the key lock at the PCs front,
you can just change the state with the key.
Anyway I would not recommend this just for the purpose of one small
Tripwire database ;-)
