How to Hide Any Drive in Windows Using Command Prompt?

You can hide any drive in Windows using the Command Prompt by following these steps:

Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, click on the Start menu and type "Command Prompt" in the search box. Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".

• Type "diskpart" and press Enter. This will open the DiskPart utility.

• Type "list volume" and press Enter. This will display a list of all the drives on your computer.

• Identify the drive you want to hide and note its drive letter.

• Type "select volume X" (where X is the drive letter of the drive you want to hide) and press Enter.

• Type "remove letter X" and press Enter. This will remove the drive letter from the selected drive and effectively hide the drive.

• Type "exit" and press Enter to exit the DiskPart utility.

The drive you selected should now be hidden from File Explorer and other file management utilities. If you want to unhide the drive, simply follow the same steps but use the "assign letter X" command instead of "remove letter X" in step 6.

Note that hiding a drive in this way does not provide any security or encryption. It only removes the drive letter from the selected drive and prevents it from being displayed in File Explorer or other file management utilities. Anyone with knowledge of this technique could easily reveal the hidden drive.
