How to HIDE a Drive in Windows using Command Prompt


Have u ever tried to hide your drive in Windows XP, Vista or 7. I guess NO. Lets do that using Command Prompt.


Step 1:-) Run your Command prompt using Administrator rights. (Click on start Menu, Then select Run and type cmd. Now press Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
Step 2:-) Now in Command Prompt type DISKPART and hit enter.
Step 3:-) Now type LIST VOLUME.(That will display the no of volume currently active on your HDD)

U'll see the above thing.
Step 4:-) Now type select volume 4 (i m hiding drive E hence i've selected volume 4. Please note that writing select volume E will NOT work u have to specify Volume number.)
Step 5:-) Now type Remove letter E (U can use your drive letter corresponding to the drive you need to hide)


Now The Selected Drive is hidden.


To Unhide the drive follow the below process.
Do the same as above till Step 4 and then:-
Step 5:-) Type Assign letter E. (Note that u have to mention the same letter which was there b4 as changing the letter might create some problem in future.)


Hope U like the trick. Pass your comments.
