If you are refering to an IDE Harddrive one way to do this is available under Windows 2000 or Windows XP. You would need to set permissions to the specific drive. Right click on the drive (under "My Computer")and click on the security tab. There will be listed the user accounts on the computer. If you are an 'administrator' on that computer you should be able to restrict certain users from accessing, reading or modifying the selected drive or even restrict them from accessing certain folders on that drive(under "advanced").
