    I'm running XP Home on a Sony laptop and I recently
    purchased a Western Digital firewire hard drive for
    increased storage. I'm wondering if there is any way to
    privatize some of the folders on this drive. The regular
    privatization option is greyed out when I use the Explorer
    to access or change the options on the drive. I assume
    this is because the drive is transportable, and therefore
    not obligatorily connected to the same
    computer/OS/network/etc, but I am still wondering if
    there's any way for me to make certain folders private,
    either on the drive itself or on the drive when hooked up
    to at least this particular laptop. (I only use the drive
    with one laptop right now.) The drive is NTFS formatted.

    Thanks for any suggestions.
