Boot drive protection

What is the best way to protect my boot drive from any programs or downloads making changes to it?

is there a way to write protect it so it will specifically ask me first if I want to write it to my boot drive or storage drive. seems like most programs want to sneak it into your operating system drive.

Btw...very happy with my ssd, crucial c300, 13-14 seconds fully booted. I figured with over 60,000 iops of RANDOM 4k read this would work best, good choice if anyone wants to know a good boot drive! 🙂
 
If you're talking Windows, that's what UAC is for. But you can't make it 100% read-only because of temp files, registry updates, etc. Windows constantly makes changes to the drive from which it's running.

If you're talking Linux, you can most certainly make / and /usr read-only, but it can be a pain since you can't install any updates without remounting them read-write first.
