    depends how secure the data has to be, a harddrive password can be hacked quite easily but would stop all but the most determined thieves. eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uydMlQlEiyc
    All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.

    You can't really hide a drive unless you write a driver, which is not possible in VB6 or install some sort of 'illegal' rootkit.

    You can also hide a hard drive via the registry. It will hide the drive from "My Computer" and file browse dialogs, but it does not prevent access to the drive if people know the drive exists and manually type the hard drive path in Windows Explorer or the command prompt.
