You might have known how to hide files and folders in XP. But this simple trick lets you hide complete harddisk partitions on any windows machine (XP/VISTA/Windows 7). Just follow the simple steps…
1. Go to Start > run > type “diskpart”.
a dos window will appear with following like that
DISKPART>
2. Then type “list volume” without quote
It will look like this.
Volume### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
————– —- —— — —– —- ——- —–
Volume 0 F CD-ROM
Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 7000MB Healthy
Volume 2 D soft NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy
Volume 3 E —- NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy
3. If u want to hide drive E then type “select volume 3″ without quote
then a message will appear in same winwods { Volume 3 is the selected volume}
4.now type ” remove letter E” without quote
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 afraid ur Data will ramin same .
to Come back the Drive repeat the process . but in 4th step which is shown in this post replace ” remove” to “assign”
means type ” assign letter E” without quote
The above method won’t work for the drive containing Operating System
and it can also be done using System Manager>Storage Manager
