You can hide drives using tweakui as well.

Partition magic is an excellent program and it has settings that will let you create hidden partitions, I use it all the time for its other features.

thanks G and crossedup....we tried the tweakui thing but the drives can be easily accessed with the drive letters.

I will try with the freeware first.

TweakUI will get most users but if they are looking for the info they can still find it, agreed. For the non technical proficient person, just another partition is an unknown wonder.

Let us know how it turns out.

That will be the case.

Try my suggestions and go from there but backup and take an image.

TweakUI is still a very handy program but it certainly would not be the solution to hide a volume with sensitive information etc.

Hello Swordfish - not a freeware - but this does just that hide and prevent access from any apps. Easy Disk Drive Safeguard (http://www.softheap.com/disklock.html) :t
