More than one Operating System - Question

[Adel]

Hello
My name is Adel and I'm new here...
-----------
My Question:

1- I have 40 GB HardDisk Drive. This hard disk is divided
into C and D (each has 20 GB disk space)

2- On the C is Windows Me ; on the D is Windows 2000 Pro.

3- When I go to My Computer, either from 2000 or Me, I
can see both volumes.

* How to make the D hidden when working on Windows Me?
I know someone who is doing that and he can access all the
files from Windows 2000, but from Windows Me the D is
hidden.

* Someone told me to upgarde 2000 from 2000 to make it
inaccessible from Me, and to upgrade it from Me to make it
accessible. Is this true?

Many Thanks
Adel

It sounds like the Windows 2000 partition is FAT32. To make the partition "hidden" from Windows ME, it needs to be an NTFS partition. The following command will do:

d:\> convert d: /fs:ntfs

Where d: is the drive you want to convert. On the next reboot the system will convert the partition to NTFS.


Hope this helps.

Many many thanks
Yes, what you said is very correct. ("It should be")
I heard of these names a lot: FAT32 and NTFS

But please, where do I type that command?
From MSDos pormpt ---- Windows Me
or from Start/run -------- Windows 2000
Sorry for questioning, I'm a beginner.
Thanks again
