Hello, I've recently decided to install DOS 7.1 onto my HDD. My HDD is divided into several partions (Filled with junk from XP) and I was wondering if it's possble to hide some of those partions.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance.

YES convert your XP drives to NTFS, as natively the HACKED MS-DOS 7.1 and Windows 3.x do not read NTFS.

Hey, thank you!
You've just solved one of my my problems, however I've also got a GHOST partition, which I would LIKE to keep as the FAT32 file system, so is there a way to hide this partition?
However, I thank you for your help, and any more that you offer me.

You can also hide partitions with Partition Magic. Hiding them does not prevent someone who knows about it from accessing it. It just keeps the OS from using it normally. And you don't have to change the file system.

Seeing as you have GHOST, then you also have GDISK. From dos prompt:
GDISK /? /HIDE
for syntax to hide/unhide any partition from dos prompt.
Best

Again, thank you for your help.
I was wondering what you meant by using Partition Magic 8. I've got it, but how could I use it to hide partitions?

Look in the help for a clue - maybe, huh?
Rule #1 Good computers don't go down.
Rule #2 There is no such thing as a good computer.
