| 322780 | 2005-02-08 21:50:00 | I've partitioned my hard drive into 3..One for winxp pro, one for me, and one for flatmate... I want to password protect the 2 partitions, so he cant access mine and I cant access his...as with the whole sharing on xp, it doesnt work when you partition hard drives....so yeah... Can anyone give me ideas or hellp :) Thanks |

| 322781 | 2005-02-08 21:53:00 | If you formated with NTFS you can just set user passwords and turn of sharing | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 322782 | 2005-02-09 02:07:00 | as silly i mite be...i dont know what you mean... the partition is D drive...and its sharing is off, but u can still see it in the other user who logs on this computer....so how do i prevent that happening... as i want me to be able to access D partition but he doesnt, and for him access E partition but i dont....how do we password protect the partitions for our privacy? the C one is where programs etc etc installed... and yup we're formatted under NTFS |

| 322783 | 2005-02-09 02:52:00 | Is this (www.gold-software.com) the sort of program you're after? Have a look through these (www.google.co.uk) results to see if there is anything more suitable:) |

| 322785 | 2005-02-09 03:36:00 | Try http://truecrypt.sf.net Otherwise there is: File Protector 2.05b SE - www.mikkotech.com Or theres: Folder Guard - www.winability.com I would suggest Truecrypt as being the #1 ideal solution! Use it unless you have a good reason not to. Folder Guard would be my second choice F-Prot is alright, but not as good Truecrypt is 100% free might I add :) |

| 322787 | 2005-02-10 00:53:00 | Thanks Chris You've got two options with Truecrypt: Format an Entire partition Add a file onto a current partition and encrypt it (Which then becomes a 3rd drive) |
