Sometimes you may want to hide the entire drive instead of specific folders. You can do it very easily in two ways. One method requires updating the windows registry, and other one requires some simple commands on command prompt. Both these methods work well on XP and Vista to hide entire drives.
Method - 1 : Registry Hack To Hide Entire Drive
1. Open Windows Registry through 'RegEdit' command.
2. Go to following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Create a new Key of type '32-bit DWORD' and name it NoDrives.
4. To hide drive C: give a value 4 in this key. For drive D: give value 8, for drive E: 16, for drive F: give value 32 and so on...
5. Reboot Windows and see your drive completely hidden. To unhide, simply delete the 'NoDrives' key.
Method - 2 : Hiding Drives Through Command Prompt
1. Go To 'Start -> Run' and type 'diskpart'.
2. To hide drive D:, type 'remove letter D'.
3. To unhide the drive anytime, type 'assign letter D'.
