Hello Folks.

In the Computer Manager, after clicking Disk Management and
a right click to a Hard Drive, if I remove the letter from a
Hard Drive, what happends ?

Do this Hard Drive become invisible to Windows ?

Is there a way to hide a Hard drive from Windows.

The Hardrive will be on the Windows Boot Manager as a
second operating system ( XP & Server 2003 Dual Boot )

However I will like to hide the server driver from Windows
so it can NOT be used for anything.
 
Basaically you will De-Mount the hard disk. The drive will be no longer
visible until you add a drive letter to it. Don't worry you won't lose any
information on that disk

If you don't have it already, get TweakUI from
www.microsoft.com. It will help you augment Manage in
controlling your drive letters as well as beating Autoplay
into submission for you and do a number of other useful things
through a GUI with resorting to Registry hacks unnecessarily.

As was pointed out by another person, accidently deleting a
drive letter won't lose your data, but you'll confuse and
frustrate yourself if you mess with it.

I have 3 HD partitions, 3 external HD partitions, a DVD
reader, a DVD burner, and a CF card reader. They installed in
sequence which wasn't logical to my workflow. So, I rearranged
them in Manage by making room at a higher letter number and
moving each piece of my pie in a logical sequence - HD,
externals, opticals, and CD reader.

Good luck, and don't foreget to set a Restore Point before
playing with M$ things you're unfamiliar with.
 
Thanks to both of you, I do many things on the Computer Management.
