I have an iMac on which I set up a Windows 7 on a separate partition of main main drive (an SSD) with Bootcamp. After installing the Bootcamp drivers, Windows is abled to read HFS+ file systems (even though reading only). I have a second drive (an ordinary hard disk drive). The OS X partition as well as the other disk get mounted by Windows automatically on startup as internal (non-removable) disks, like they are.

Because of the purpose of this Windows installation, I do not need and also want to prevent access to these other partitions (for security reasons). Is there a smooth way of doing so? Else than, in example, to run a script on login which unmounts these drives again?

I know how easy this would be on Linux, but I am stalled with Windows. Until now I just found out how to disable automatic mounting of drives on Windows globally, but not how to make it based on partitions. That is the way I mean it: Windows should not even touch them on startup, just be aware they are there and should be left in peace.

You can disable automatic startup of Apple HFS driver ("AppleHFS") so HFS partitions (drives) will not appear in Windows.

I recommend using Process Hacker for that.

I'd rather recommend create a FAT32 partion, then create encrypted container with TrueCrypt (100GB for example), format it as FAT32 and be able to access it on both mac and Windows (after entering the password).
