- I have two solutions for you :
- i) Use the Norton Utilities DISKREET program. This one builds a hidden,
- encrypted partition accesible only oby those who know the password.
- It is, I think, the way to go.
- ii) I once saw a program to do this at oak.oakland.edu, which allowed
- you to create a protected partition.Lost the name, though
