Recommended Posts

With this you can hide your drives and access them again with a simple procedure.

 

1)Go to Start > Run > type "diskpart" and press enter.

2)Wait till it says "DISKPART>" and type "list volume"

It will show all the drives your computer has.

3)Let's say you want to hide volume 4. You type "select volume 4", press enter and it will say "Volume 3 is the selected volume"

4)Last step. Type "remove letter E" (or whatever your volume's letter is, check step 2)

Wait till it says "Diskpart Removed the Drive letter".

After that you have to restart your computer and..done!

Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the unknown volume.

Your Data is now safe from unauthorised users. ;)

 

To access the content of hidden Drive again, repeat the same thing BUT in step 4 type "assign letter E"

And everything will be back to normal.

 

Credits go to me =)
