Hi Tiesto

Many, many moons ago I used a product called ScramDisk. It used to be free and was very good. It would create an encryted partition on your harddrive and you could only access it using a password. The partition acted like any other partition in Explorer and worked seamlessly.

The commercial products is called DriveCrypt and you can see details of it at the following sites:

yeah, encryption is best method.

But depends how far you want to go? If you just want the HDD to disappear from explorer, then don't give that HDD a drive letter.

If you want to restrict access, then use security options on folders.
