Question

Is there a way to get XP to ignore a given drive without going through opening the case and physically disconnecting it?

you could go into bios and disable it

I'm not sure about the boot drive. If it's not the boot drive, you can go into Device Manager and disable it. Never tried, so I don't know what other effects it'll have.

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager -> View Hardware and Devices

When you get there, click on Disk Drives then right click on the drive you want to disable and choose Disable. That should do it...
