U might be tempted to this.There can be various reasons for this.May be u have something secret document that u don’t want your colleague(in office or at home) to know.What so ever be the reason Microsoft has provided a tool which can accomplish this.This tool is "diskpart".To hide any drive follow these steps:
Go to Start > run > type "diskpart".(Without Quote)a dos window will appear with following prompt.
DISKPART>
Then type "list volume" this will look like it
If u wanna hide drive S then type "select volume 3"then a message will appear in same window { Volume 3 is the selected volume}
Now type " remove letter E" now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter }sometime it requires the reboot the computer .
Diskpart will remove the letter .Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the unkown volume.
Don’t be afraid about the data, it will remain in the drive. To Come back to the Drive repeat the process . Repeat step which is shown in this post but this time do execute "remove letter E" command.Just replace " remove" with "assign".Now, execute this command " assign letter E".
This is IInd method.

ReplyDeleteAnother way to hide windows drive is from computer management -> disk management. Choose the drive, right click and select "change drive letter and path". It will show the current drive letter. Just click on remove and the drive letter will be gone and the drive will disappear from your browser.
ReplyDeleteYou can bring it back by assigning a drive letter again to that drive.
