- Now a prompt will open like DISKPART
- Type Diskpart>list volume to see the number of drives you have in your computer.
- Now Type Diskpart>select volume f .Here I have selected f because I want to hide F drive . Choose the letter you want to hide.
- Then Type Diskpart>remove letter f . And you are done your drive with letter f is now hidden and it wont show up when you open my computer.
- You may be prompted to restart the system restart it .
- Now again if you want to access that folder again open diskpart following the above instructions. Now you will see that that drive is showing but no letter is assigned to it.

Well how could we see the harddisk if we want to open somethings..
Ahm…well you have to mount it again then restart your PC
how to remove the virus which makes each folder(hard disk drive ie c,d,drives) open in its own new window ?
Will this work at that time too when any other person having Administrator previlidges logs in and checks the drives. ?

That’s really cool. Is there, by chance, a way to hide a hard drive and make a separate part of another hard drive appear as the hidden hard drive? haha if that makes sense. This is truly an informative blog.
