A Trick to hide Data on your comp.!!

Assalaamo Alaikum! Hi !

I'm starting a new thread hope it'll help 'Twisters' hiding the data which they don't want others to see.


1. Go to Start > run > type "diskpart".(Without quotes)
a dos window will appear with following discription.
DISKPART>

2. then type "list volume"

this will look like it

Volume### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
-------------- ---- ------ --- ----- ---- ------- -----

Volume 0 F DC-ROM
Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 7000MB Healthy
Volume 2 D soft NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy
Volume 3 E Porn NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy


3.if u wanna hide drive E then type "select volume 3"

then a message will appear in same winwods { Volume 3 is the selected volume}

4.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. . .ur Data will ramin same .
to Come backe the Drive repeat the process . but in fourth step which is shown in this post replace " remove" to "assign"
I mean type " assign letter E."

================================================== ========

If the above sounds too long a process..Try this!


No need to run a command line utility for this. Same thing can be done from the management console.

Right click on "my computer" and select "manage". in the new window which opens up you will see "disk management" under "storage".

There you will be shown all your drives in graphical format. Right click the drive you want to hide (except your boot drive, usually c:. you cant start your computer without the system partition) and select "drive letters and paths".

A dialog box will open where u can add, change or remove drive letters. If you remove all drive letters, the drive will become inaccessible until a drive letter is assigned again.

Add repps if you like it...Thanks!

God Bless!


P.S. Both the tricks are same, just different ways of doing it!
