Hide Drive Letters in XP

Resolution :

Start >> Run >> diskpart >> list volume

this might look like the following

Volume### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info

-------------- ---- ------ --- ----- ---- ------- -----

Volume 0 F DC-ROM

Volume 1 C XXXX NTFS Partition 7000MB Healthy

Volume 2 D XXXX NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy

Volume 3 E XXXX NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy

If we want to hide drive E then type "select volume 3" then a message will appear in same window {Volume 3 is the selected volume}

Now type "remove letter E" now a message will come {Diskpart Removed the Drive letter}
sometime it requires the reboot the computer.

Diskpart will now have removed the drive letter. Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the unkown volume. Dont worry about the data it will not be destroyed. When we need the drive letter again type "assign letter E"
