System was booted to "d" or "e" partition with the xp boot manager , "c" was shared data files, music etc.
previously "d" partition was hidden from "e" partition system user and vice-versa.
Cannot remember how I managed it. can someone jog my memory please

723007 2008-11-26 09:14:00 Right Click my Computer
Select Manage
Select Disk Management
Right Click the Partition you want to hide
Select Change Drive Letters and Paths
Choose Remove

If the partition is not needed for the boot or the system you will be able to hide the partition.

To access the partition again you will have to do as above but instead of remove, assign a drive letter.
