If all you want to do is fix it so you can't see the other partition, download and
install TweakUI (if you don't already have it). On Windows 98 it will be located
in the control panel. Open TweakUI, select the My Computer tab and uncheck the drive
letter that corresponds to the partition you don't want to see.

Hi Stephen;
I hadn't actually used TweakUI, but based on your post here, I recommended it to
another forum poster & it didn't work for them. When you have some time, can you
read through entire this thread/post
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/t1121050995
to give me an idea of why it didn't work...i.e. Explain to me relative of hiding
drives, TweakUI works for... e.g is Tweak UI limited to certain types of DOS extended
partitions ? Maybe it has to have a formatted partition, etc? I read what little
I found at Microsoft & didn't see details. Sounds like you've had some experience
with this freeware tool, so i thought i'd ask ...
Thanks, Camile
