Disable CDROM booting. And password protect your bios. Your brother could still access your drive (if he is that determined) by - taking your disk in another computer and mounting it - resetting your bios password If someone has physical access to your computer, there's not much to stop him from stealing your data. Encryption helps but is not foolproof... it is again a question of resources and motivation. But the stronger the encryption, the less the likelyhood someone will take that much trouble to try decrypting it or have the resources to do so.
