Inta badan isticmaalayaasha Windows ayaa ka walaacsan xogtooda gaarka ah. Waxaan dooneynaa inaan qarsano ama xirno galka ama feylka annagoo isticmaalna software sir ah ama isticmaal Windows -ga ku dhex jira qalabyada si aan u ilaalino xogtayada sirta ah. Laakiin marka aad haysato faylal badan ama faylal badan oo u baahan in la sireeyo ama la qariyo markaas fikrad fiican maaha in aad sirayso mid kasta & fayl kasta ama gal kasta, taa beddelkeeda waxa aad samayn karto ayaa ah in aad dhammaan xogtaada sirta ah u beddesho mid gaar ah (partition). ) ka bacdina wada qari wadayaasha si aad u ilaaliso xogtaada khaaska ah.

Marka aad qariso darawalka gaarka ah, qofna uma muuqan doono, sidaas darteedna qofna ma heli karo darawalka, adiga mooyaane. Laakin ka hor inta aanad qarsanin darawalka si aad u hubiso in aanu ku jirin faylal ama fayl kale marka laga reebo xogtaada khaaska ah, waxa aad doonaysaa in lagu qariyo. Dareewalka saxanka waa laga qarin doonaa File Explorer , laakiin waxaad weli awood u yeelan doontaa inaad geliso darawalka adigoo isticmaalaya amarka degdegga ah ama ciwaanka ciwaanka ee File Explorer .

Laakin adeegsiga habkan si loo qariyo darawalnimada kama hor istaagayso isticmaaleyaasha inay galaan maamulka saxanka si ay u arkaan ama u beddelaan sifooyinka wadista. Isticmaalayaasha kale waxay wali geli karaan wadistaada qarsoon iyagoo isticmaalaya barnaamijyada xisbiga 3aad ee si gaar ah loogu sameeyay ujeedadan. Si kastaba^(Anyway) ha ahaatee , annagoo aan wakhti lumin, aan aragno sida loo qariyo Drive gudaha Windows 10 annagoo kaashanayna casharrada hoos ku taxan.

How to Hide a Drive in Windows 10

Most of the Windows users are concеrned about their private data. We intend to either hide or loсk the folder or file using encryption software or using Windows inbuilt encryption tools tо protect our confidential data. But when you have many files or folders which needs tо bе encryрted or hidden then it’s not a good idea to encrуpt each & every file or folder, instead what you can do iѕ that you can shift all yоur confidential data to a particular drive (partition) then hide that drive altogether tо protect your private data.

Once you hide the particular drive, it will not be visible to anyone, and hence no one will be able to access the drive, except you. But before making the drive hidden to make sure it doesn’t contain any other files or folders except your private data, you want to be hidden. The disk drive would be hidden from File Explorer, but you will still be able to access the drive using the command prompt or address bar in the File Explorer.

But using this method to hide drive doesn’t prevent users from accessing disk management to view or change the drive characteristics. Other users can still access your hidden drive using 3rd party programs specifically made for this purpose. Anyway, without wasting any time, let’s see How to Hide a Drive in Windows 10 with the help of the below-listed tutorial.
