Best Answer

Putting a password on your bios will prevent anyone but the user from running the computer let alone installing another operating system. Can't think of any other way to prevent operating systems from being installed/used. Encrytped hard drives can be formatted. Password protected bootloaders don't prevent other systems from being installed.
