How To Hide and unhide the hard disk Volumes using CMD Commands :
First check how many drives are there in my computer and then see which drive holds your secret files.Then make the drive to invisible by following the below steps of using cmd commands,
start->run->cmd->DISKPART
DISKPART>list volume (it list available partition volumes)
select the volume by SELECT VOLUME 1or 2 ..
Hide the selected volume by REMOVE LETTER C or D or... command.
Note :For Unhide the hidden drive use the command ASSIGN LETTER after selecting the hidden drive.
Now to unhide the partition:
Go to an elevated command prompt=run cmd.exe as administrator
Enter following commands:
DISKPART --- run the diskpart program
LIST DISK ---- list the disks in system
SELECT DISK n ----n is number of disk with hidden volume
DETAIL DISK ----- to make sure you got the right one
LIST VOLUME ------lists the volumes in the system
SELECT VOLUME n ----n is the number of the hidden volume
DETAIL VOLUME ---- to make sure you got the right one
ATTRIBUTES VOLUME CLEAR HIDDEN ---clear the hidden attribute
EXIT --- exit from DiskPart
EXIT --- exit from command shell
Later if you want to hide the volume again then the command is:
ATTRIBUTES VOLUME SET HIDDEN

This isn't an article about "hiding partitions", it's about " hiding volumes " which is not the same and the false title makes it show in searches for unhiding partitions (diskpart, "detail part", hidden: yes)
ReplyDeleteExactly my partition is hidden and when I followed the above tutorial I got Virtual Disk Service Error:
DeleteThe Object is not found and substituting partition in place of volume returns this message "VOLUME- Manipulate volume attributes.
DISK- Manipulate disk attributes. So my question I have is how do you change hidden to no instead of yes?
Hi +Michael-Rainabba Richardson, I have to agree with you about your statement, indeed how of my silliness I've give information which is accurate. After, sometimes, you only find errors when other people points you to .. Special if you make those mistake while working diligently with your soul and heart ..
Delete+Agrock ... Give me some time to build up a VM and test the approach before, I know by heart how to Unhide the partition ..So, I don't give wrong info again ..
DeleteI found this to work "Set Id=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7"
