This is a effective way to change partition.You can hide, assign, delete etc. disk partition in few steps.

• Click on Start button > run > type "Diskpart".
  
  
• A DOS window will appear with following discription. DISKPART>
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then type "list volume" The result will look like as following screenshot :
  
  
  
  
  
• Suppose u wanna hide drive D then type "select volume 1". Then a message will appear in same windows { Volume 1 is the selected volume}
  
  
  
  
  
• Now type "remove letter D". Now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter } sometime it requires the reboot the computer.

Windows XP is not having capability to identify the unknown volume. Your Data is safe now from all unauthorized users.

Thanks for the information mate. But instead of using command prompt we can direct do it from the disk management option in computer management.

Simply removing the drive letter by right clicking on the corresponding drive. But thanks for this info too mate.

Yes Of course we can. We can achieve it by using various softwares like partition magic and alcohol120 etc etc. Using Command prompt the is the best way from my point of view because its having the least chances of doing mistakes.
