No Bios to fiddle around with, just a naked HDD.
Well i'd just make the computer unbootable by picking it up, and slamming it into a wall.

Seriously though, we all say M$ security is bad, but if you try, it doesent have to be. Sure I live in the past (I hate WinXP patches... grrrr), but as far as any user knows, my computer doesent/barely exists. All my ports are stealthed via hardware firewall. Try and beat THAT!
Your missing the whole point Razor( and Cuddles too)...Data on any system, regardless of OS, firewall settings, etc. is vulnerable if the attacker has physical access to your machine. The exception being encrypted data, but even that can be compromised if the attacker has enough time to brute force the encryption.
