how to have a hidden drive in partition
131187
If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP you can use the "Disk Management" tool in the "Computer Management" tool to add/remove drive letters and junctions.  You can remove all junctions and drive letters to make the partition "invisible" - only viewable using partitioning type software...  Though to use it, you will need to assign it a drive letter (at least temporarily)

My first answer is, reboot.  Sometimes that's enough to take care of those sorts of problems.  If that doesn't work, open "My Computer" and go to the folder where you've saved it.  Find "Folder Options" in the menus--if you're using Windows XP, go to Tools->View Folder Options.  Then click on the "View" tab.  From there, look through the options until you find "Show Hidden Files and Folders", or something similar.\n\nOnce you can see hidden files, have another look at that directory and see if you've got some hidden files there.  Nine chances out of ten you do.  Look for files that have a name very close to the name you saved the file as and that are hidden files.  Go ahead and delete those ones.  DON'T DELETE THE ORIGINAL, NON-HIDDEN FILE.  If you're not sure, make a copy of the folder before you try it.  Once you delete the hidden locking files, you should be good to go.

that depends on what your E: drive is holding. most manufactures will put a second partition on their hard drives as a reformat partition instead of giving them a XP cd. go to the E: drive and oprn up tools > folder options and go to the view tab. un-check the box named "Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)". you will get a pop-up box telling you that it is dangerous..just click okay. if more files dont show up, then the manufacturer hid them completly and the only way to use em is to know their path.

Well, I'm going to assume that you're using Windows XP, although the method should be similar to other versions of Windows.\n\nYou can choose a folder to be Hidden by right-clicking the folder, going to Properties, and checking the Hidden box under Attributes at the bottom.\n\nIf you're still seeing your hidden folder (it will appear kind of faded), it means that you currently have your option of viewing hidden folders on.  To change that, go to Tools > Folder Options > View > and select whether or not you want to be able to see your folder under the "Hidden files and folders" option.\n\nI hope this helps  :)

When a folder or file is put onto your computer, it has the value of either being hidden, read-only, or viewable. The folders you are talking about are probably just hidden folders. To be able to see these, simply click the Tools drop down menu when you have a n explorer window open. Then click Folder Options. Once your window is up, click on the View tab. In the open space below, there are multiple check boxes and choice circles. If you look closely, it has the choice of showing hidden files and folders, or showing them. You can click the choice that shows them. I hope this helps.

loganathan, hi!\n\nonce your PC has booted the OS, and you're inside XP, you cannot barr access to a particular drive.  if there are a few folders you want to block access to, try zipping it using WinZip, and password protect them.  anybody trying to Unzip it will need to know the password.\n\nto protect your PC from being booted, you can hit the TAB key in the first 5-10seconds when your PC is booting up.  inside the CMOS options, go to security, and set a boot-up password.\n\nthis will mean that no one can even get into your PC, and all your drives will be safe.\n\nhope this helped...\n\nenjoy!

If you are talking about a quick whipe its not very possible.  Your best bet would be to keep sensitive information in 1 location so that you can use a "shredder" on all of the files without looking for them, or having ghost copies elsewhere the disk or another drive.  (dont forget your swapfile)\n\nThe time it would take to 0 out a substantial amount of information would be enough time to physically remove a HD and physically destroy it.

The answer to this question is simple, if you are using windows.  all you have to do is open "My Computer", go to the address bar, open the drop-down menu, and select desktop.  then all you have to do is go to the "Tools" menu and select "Folder options".  Then go to the Veiw tab in the window that should pop-up, and you then should see the "Hidden Files and Folders" option.  Select the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" option and you're done.  That's how you view those files.
