Disable Hard Drive Not an Option

[errade]

Hi guys,

I have 2 hard drives in the same computer, each with its own instance of Windows 7.

I must keep these files separate from eachother for security reasons - the problem is that each instance of Windows automatically reads the data from the other hard drive.

I am aware that usually the way to fix this is to select the hard drive and click 'Disable' (works fine on one hard drive) - but the other hard drive does not have this option.

Is there any other way I can get Windows 7 to completely ignore/disable/uninstall a hard drive? Note that simply clicking 'Uninstall' does not help, since it automatically reinstalls itself on reboot.

To sum up,

- 'Disable button' does not exist
- 'Uninstall' button is useless, since it reinstalls on reboot.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks

You could use "True Crypt" to secure both drives requiring pre-boot authorization. This would provide maximum security.
