Ever wondered if its possible to hide a particular disk drive (disk partition) that houses your important documents that you don’t want to expose. Hell…yeah! you can hide them. Windows Xp has a simple utility that does just that.
- Go to Start > Run > Type “diskpart”
- after a command prompt window comes type in “list volume“.
- Now for example you wanna hide C, then type “select volume 2“
- Now type “remove letter C” (most cases it works instantly, but sometimes restart may be required)
Now if you check My computer the mentioned drive won’t be displayed. Hey but don’t worry, you data will remain safe. If you want to unhide the drive, simply repeat the process. But in the 4th step instead of of typing ”remove letter C”, type “assign letter C”. Next time your neighborhood geek comes for a visit to your home.. surprise him with this trick.
