Embodiments of an apparatus and a method can discourage or prevent unauthorized data copy by cardbus (e.g., PCMCIA) devices. Embodiments of the apparatus and method can determine whether to enable/disable cardbus use when booting or setting up a system, by adding a function of setting the cardbus Enable/Disable in a system BIOS to prevent data from being flowed out through the cardbus devices without the consent of the system user. Further, embodiments can set the cardbus Enable/Disable by inputting a predetermined specific key during system runtime.
