Hide My HDD?

**sourced** · August 10th, 2004, 07:38 PM

I have just added my 20GB as an extra to my families XP box. There are four users including myself, and I wanted to know if there is anyway in which I could hide it so I will be the only user with "knowledge" of its presence. There are only two comp admins out of there four of us, and I am one of them. I don’t believe they would not notice the second HDD. Thanks.

Hmmm I think you would have to make the drive personal and then use tweakui to hide it in my computer.... but the drive would still be accessible to those who know how.

You could hide the entire drive using a boot manager.... but then you would have users seeing the boot manager.

Thanks NooNoo. I added a shortcut to my HDD to my desktop, and used TweakUI to "remove" it form MY COMPUTER. Thanks agian.
