How to hide a partition from command Prompt in Windows

This command prompt trick works both in Windows 7 and XP. Let’s start.
Go to Star > Run, type “cmd” and hit enter. This will open the command prompt. Now run the following commands:

1. DISKPART



2. LIST VOLUME




After executing the commands the the partition overview will be shown. Note the volume number of the partition that you want to hide with the corresponding drive letter.


3. Type the command SELECT VOLUME (number) and hit “Enter”. For instance: SELECT VOLUME 3


4. Now type REMOVE LETTER (letter) and hit “Enter”. Example: REMOVE LETTER D.




This command will remove the drive letter from the partition and make the partition hidden in Windows explorer. You must restart your computer to see the effect.

5. To get back the drive again just type the following command:

ASSIGN LETTER (letter).

Note: When assigning the letter, you must have to select the volume again as you’ve done before.
So following the above method you can hide all your confidential data in a drive that is invisible. And when you need to access them just make the partition visible.
