Dual Boot Question

I have set up a new hard drive in my laptop. I created 3 partitions so that
I could have 2 boot partitions and one data partition.

The dual boot works just fine and I'm not having any trouble with that.

My question is one of security I suppose. I would like it so that when I
choose to boot to one of my boot partitions I can't see the other.

The way it currently works is that when I boot to the partition I use away
from work (no network client software, no work applications, etc.) I can
still see and browse the boot partition I use for work and vice-versa.

What I want is to only be able to see the boot partition I am currently
using and the data drive. I want the non actice boot partition to be
invisible.

So basically I want to have a situation where I boot to my "At Home" boot
partition and I don't want to even know that there is an "At Work" partition.

Is it possible to set this up?

If your not doing this for security reasons, just go to disk management and
remove the drive letter of the partition you don't want access to. I don't
know if this will be possible from the OS not on the system (boot)
partition, it may not let you remove the system partition drive letter.
 
Dave,

THis worked when I booted to one of my installations, but not the other.
When I boot to the "Home" OS I can remove the boot OS partition that I am not
using, but when I boot to the "Work" OS I can't remove the letters from
either drive.
