double boot Win XP Pro


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

Got one quenstion and I wonder wether you might help me...

I installed two times Win XP Pro on a computer. Each of the both operating systems is installed on its own partition (sytem A on C:\ (primary) system B on D:\(extended logical)).

My question: Can I make e.g. the C:\ drive (system A) inaccessable if I booted with system B? I need to protect the drive from any user that started system B but has access to all data no matter wether C:\ or D:\ right now.

Can you tell me where and what to set in the Windows settings? Do I need a special tool???

Thanks for your help in advance!

Ciao

I don't think you can hide a partition with the Windowx XP multiboot tool. I use BootMagic on my system, and it will hide the other boot partition when booting one or the other system. But it also allows you to have "shared" partitions that can be used by all systems.

See http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ for details.
