No way in hell. They are surely aware of identity theft and the various cases of people's personal files being stolen & posted online, etc, right? Yea, I need a waiver from HP stating that none of my personal files will be opened, viewed, copied, moved, etc.

There's no way any company is going to provide you a waiver (in essence a letter of liability) on your data. If you're that concerned about personal files and data, either encrypt the data or don't save them on the local hard drive. I haven't saved any personal files on any local hard drive for the past 10 years. I either use a USB thumb drive or upload them to my NAS. Operating this way promotes good security habits.
