software to password protect drive

Does anyone know of any software out there that you can use to password protect a second hard drive? I've been searching for a while and the only thing I can find is software that will create a password protected partition for you on a drive.

What I really want to do is this... I am now letting someone else use my computer on occasion. I am running winxp. I've set up a guest account for that person and password protected my own and my files, but I notice that when I go into the guest account I can still access everything on the second harddrive. drive d:/

Is there a way for me to lock that from anyone else accessing it?

Just create an encrypted partition on that disk using one of the tools listed in How can I encrypt and entire disk?

Software program

Hey, I've been wondering the same thing for another computer I have in my home. Thanks for the great tip. It sounds awesome. These forums are proving to be very profitable on a computer-related basis. I help some people, and I'm getting a lot of tips in return. Thanks!
