Partition Security


Is there any way to hide or password protect a partition on a hard drive in XP home? I have my daughters hard drive divided into two partitions and would like to keep her from being able to access one of them.



Thanks

What exactly do you not want her to have access to? (System files, specific folders, etc.)
How are the Drives partitioned?
Home network?

Is there a Security tab under properties? If so, you can do so from there. I'm using Vista so IDK. Hope this helps.

XP has Sharing/Security HDD settings, but that's geared for remote drives sharing on a network. Best bet with XP depending on why he's looking to block access might be to format in a non-standard Windows format.
