Is it possible to disallow access to certain partitions on the HDD on a PC with shared access? The admin(in case of Win XP) should be able to view it but no other account should have access to these drives.
Disallowing access to partitions
yes,its possible,if u r using win2k or xp u can convert the drives to ntfs filesystem which has lot of security features,it gives options to permit/deny access to users.
Okay.
How do I go about disallowing a particular drive from being viewed via a non-admin account in WinXP?

Go to Security Tab and add users to the list that are not admin. For each of these users, set permissions to read/modify/access to DENY... Note: Since Deny permissions overwrite access permissions, be very careful and avoid setting it for generic groups such as Everyone or Users. Remember that Administrator is also a member of these groups and will also be denied access...
