How To Hide Drive Partition
Sometimes when we need to hide some file/files to others, we commonly don’t place it in the hard drive rather we just put it to other removable drive like flash player or burn it to CD, but what if we need to hide the whole partition like a whooping 100GB drive partition? No problem, you can still hide your partition drive without using your flashdisk or your CDs but by using the traditional “cmd” Command Prompt.
Here’s how to hide drive partition:
1. First open Command Prompt (Start>Run>Type “cmd” without the quotes)
2. On the flushing cursor type “diskpart” (again without the quotes) Note: Wait for the Diskpart> and the flushing cursor to come out, usually it takes any seconds.
3. After the Diskpart> appears, type “list volume” (no quotes ok). It will then show all the drive in your computer including optical drives.
4. Select the drive you like to hide, for example your system configuration have 3 partitions and you want to hide drive E: — just type “select volume 3” (excluding the quotes).
5. After that, type “remove letter E” (again without the quotes). Then exit command prompt.
Your drive now is invisible, don’t worry its not been deleted of formatted, we just hide it. So if you want to see your drive again just follow the following.
To unhide the partition, repeat the steps 1-4 and on step 5 type “assign letter E” (ok again without the quote).
Your drive partition now visible again.
