password protect local disk?

[svender]

I have two operating systems installed on one hard drive. Both of them are windows xp... So when I open My Computer, I have two local disks. Can I password protect any of these to prevent me from making changes to the wrong operating system.. Say I'm currently in my C: drive and my other os is the D: drive. So, if I click the D: drive, I want to get somekind of prompt before I can enter it...
Hope this makes sense...
Thx

Start with the advice given here: thread779-545582 on both machines use gpedit.msc to hide the drives:

To be absolutely sure, make certain that you convert the drives to NTFS, disable Simple File Sharing, and add yourself as a user on both possible login drives, but remove yourself from the permissions on each drive.
