    I just got my external hard drive and i want to make it so that only my user account use the hard drive. Is there a way to hide it on the other user account?
    Please help, thanks!

    You can't hide it, but you can put security on it. Just make sure you turn off simple file sharing first. Or if you're really anal, you can take the drive letter away in the device manager and add it back everytime you want to use it, but that would get annoying after a while.
