Hi, I use windows 7 ultimate on my pc and my brother uses windows 8 on the same pc...that is we have two different OS installed on the same hard drive.
I have some files that I don't want my brother to access. I know I can use Bitlocker to lock a particular drive but is there any other way or software to do this?
Remember, I want the files protected from a user on a different OS.

By default, files located under /User/RedDevilAloke/ are permission limited to that user. No matter what the OS.
Is this 100%? No. Physical access trumps.

Either encrypt with a password, or live with the tiny possibility of your brother finding your porn stash.
