One method of protecting our files in our computer is by hiding a particular drive. In this way other users cannot access the drive thus making the files in it inaccessible. Here is an easy method on how you can hide a drive/disk partition in Windows without any use of software.

Just follow these simple instruction to hide a drive in Windows
Go to Run > type “diskpart“

A window will appear on the screen, type ” list volume” and then press ENTER.

The list of hard drive partition and it’s detail will be shown.

We will then choose a particular hard drive to hide. Let say we want to hide drive “D”.
Type “select volume d”

After selecting the hard drive, we can now hide it by typing “remove letter d”

You could check it in your computer that drive “D” is already removed and hidden. If we want to bring back the hidden drive just go back to diskpart and instead of typing “remove letter D”, you must now type “assign letter D” and hit ENTER

Drive d will now be restored and will show on your computer.
