.....only if a password is provided.
For example, under Win 98 in explorer if I were to click on the new hard drive (D:) then I want to be restricted access to it unless I provide a password.

Yeah thanks for that mate, but I was after some helpful advice. There are people, like myself, who for one reason or another are unable to change to Linux.
I don't wish to start a Linux vs Windows debate here but although Linux may be free, it has a long way to go before it can realistically compete with Windows.

I do not know how easy it is to get to your drive cables. I do not reccommedyou experiment with too much security or encryption software either. If it is convenient, shut down and turn off your unit. Unplug drive 2 by removing either the data (ribbon cable) or the power (white 4wire [red, yellow black, black] socket plastic plug) Reboot, the drive 2 is now hidden and secure.
