With the whole disabling of the drives that would be in the BIOS and you'd have to do even more research on how to be able to write to the BIOS Ram and then the ROM because if you just write to the RAM then they can pull the battery. I just want to say Chances are you will never have a full proof plan on how to find stolen laptops, it just doesn't work. The reason is a computer is so easily changeable. Let's say you do change the Hardware, they can always reload new firmware. With the OS the CD key is usually on the bottom, so they can just reload it. It's to simple to cover up a stolen laptop unless you are looking at the serial numbers.
