If this were a desktop as opposed to a laptop, and you don't specify, I might advise cloning the partitions to separate hard drives and literally switching off the drive you don't wish accessed. That's what I'd do.

Why? There is no perfect solution. I pointed to TWO possible solutions, a better one My Own, and one which solves the problem in a possibly more elegant but not necessarily easier way. – gyropyge Dec 23 '14 at 10:34

I provided not one but TWO answers, one involving a link. You may choose to remove all of your commentary, or I shall remove NONE. – gyropyge Dec 23 '14 at 10:42
