I know how to restrict access to folders on a drive. But can an
entire physical HDD drive be restricted to an few users without
needing to secure each folder on it.

One of my users asked and I got curious. She is running Windows

Yes.
NTFS (file and folder permissions) allows this.

I don't recommend messing with a System/Boot drive - but with a data drive -
it would work fine; as long as the people you are trying to restrict are
*not* administrators.
