if you want the PC to be used only by you the you have the BIOS password. for that you can lock all the resources not only the HDD but your full system. If you only want certain things in the HDD to be protected you can use the user password so that other's cant view them.
To make the system pw you have to switchon the computer press del and log on to the user password type the password go to the bios setup and enable password = system then save the changes thats it. You system cant be opened by anyone.

go to MY Computer
Right click on hard drive
select Properties
select Shared As
select Access Type desired
assign Password
Apply
OK

:-)

Note that I have more than 1 drive and other people access my computer. I just want to block 1 drive in pirticular. Thanks
