password or hide a drive?

can i hide an entire drive just from others who log onto this computer? or password protect them somehow? on limited accounts everything is still open and you can veiw everything but you cant change stuff and thats it. i want to be able to deny access all together unless its me wanting to look at the files or drives.

Cool

The Adminstrator (I presume you) can set up accounts for others. They will have their login and password. You as the Adminstrator can grant privilages. You can limit folders, I'm not sure about drives but would assume that you could any drive other than drive with OS.
