HIDE HARD DRIVE PARTITION

HIDE HARD DRIVE PARTITION

This trick is for all those people who want to hide tons of data into their box. So here it is, if you have very important data in your hard drive placed in some partition which you do not want anybody to access then this trick is only for you! 

1) Go to Start > Run > type "diskpart".
A DOS window will appear with following description.

DISKPART>

2) Then type "list volume"
The result will look something like one as shown below-

3) Suppose you want to hide drive E then type  "select volume 4"
Then a message will appear in same window { Volume 4 is the selected volume}

4) Now type "remove letter E"
Now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter }

NOTE:
To access the content of hidden Drive repeat the process mentioned above. But in 4th step replace " remove" by "assign".
It means type "assign letter E".

ANOTHER METHOD:

Go to Start > Run > type "gpedit.msc">user configuration>administrative templates>windows components>windows explorer

Now double click on “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” modify it accordingly then just below you will find another option “Prevent access to drives from My Computer”, double click on this option and modify it accordingly.

To make it visible again select "disable" by double clicking on the “Hide these specified drives in My Computer” option.
