[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Locking partitions?

hs0i+@andrew.cmu.edu (Harold Jason Shapiro) (05/20/91)

Does anyone know of any way to make a partition of a hard drive read
only?  I tried the drive protction programs, but they iginore partition
information (i.e. one drive partitioned to two drives, the programs
still think as one drive).  i have some small partitions and I would
liked to keep them locked without using attrib or norton, etc.
                     Any Help would be appreciated ASAP
                             Harold

Hello,
You can try the Disk Manager Program (coming up with all ST drives). This
driver will allow to install read only partions.
