    Most of you must have wondered if there exists a way without using software to Hide A Drive completely so that it cannot be viewed or accessed without unlocking it. Well for those who have and who haven’t yet, here is a easiest method on How To Hide Any Drive In Just 3 Steps.

    Here we go, follow these 3 simple steps:

    In my example I will hide Drive Volume G: from My Computer:
    unhidden drive

    After following these 3 steps:
    hidden drive

    01. Go To Start –> Run or use Win+R keys and type this and press Ok

    cmd

    start menu
    run command in windows 7
    run command

    For Vista/Windows 7
    windows 7 run box

    02. This will open Command Prompt for you. Now type below text and press Enter:

    diskpart

    command prompt

    Note: In Window Vista and higher you will get a security warning, bypass it clicking on allowing.

    Once in Diskpart type below text and press Enter:

    list volume

    command prompt

    This will list all the partitions. Now as in my example I want to Hide Partition G: and it has Volume no. 10. So my next command will be:

    select volume 10

    Remember to change 10 with the volume number of your partition you want to hide and press Enter:
    command prompt

    03. Now as in my example I am hiding drive G: so my last command will be below and then press Enter:

    remove letter G

    command prompt

    All done. Now open your computer and see that drive is made hidden:
    hidden drive

    Now to make a drive Unhidden

    Follow first 2 steps as such but in step 3 instead of remove letter G use below command:

    assign letter G

    command prompt

    For Vista/Windows 7
    The commands becomes slightly different here:

    assign letter=G

    hidden drive

    You have successfully unlocked the Hidden Drive.

    Hope this Helps. Please leave a reply if I am not clear anywhere, I would help you out.senyum

      Very interesting. My computers are locked with a password all the time. I’m not sure hiding a drive is going to provide needed security.
