I have partioned a hard drive and would like to keep access to one part
of the drive away from guests. Can I/how do I limit the access of a
guest user from my partioned E:/ drive?

File and folder permissions - as long as you formatted it with NTFS.

Or TrueCrypt if not XP Pro.

Or TrueCrypt even if you have Windows XP Pro (which has been reported
will not correctly import the previously exported cert key after a
fresh install of the OS which means you can no longer get at your
EFS-protected files). Of course, encryption does nothing to protect
against keyloggers or kernel-mode device handlers to read the files
that you open after opening the TrueCrypt volume or the EFS-protected
file.
