HIDE ANY HARD DRIVE USING THE COMMAND PROMPT

Press the Win key, at search type “cmd” and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to run the command prompt as administrator.

Once the command prompt interpreter is open, we’ll use the tool diskpart to remove and hide the drive. Here’s the summary of commands:

          - diskpart

- list vol     (to display the list of drives available in the system)

        - select volume [number]  => the command selects the drive that you want to hide

         - remove letter=[drive letter] => the command removes the drive letter and later hides the drive.
