     I can't think of anything off the top of my head (other than Lock)
that would keep someone from formatting a selected disk.  However, you
could snapshot the hard disk icons so that they are on the left side of
the screen, just under the title bar, say.  This would at least keep
the hard disk icons segregated from the floppy disk icons, thus making
them less of a target.

     Hope this helps [tm].
