Hi, Is it possible to protect a partition from deletion like windows partition can't be deleted(at least from within windows)?Any hint/guide/suggestions? Regards, 1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi ma1,Does any other user login to your computer?Standard users aren’t able to format drives. You could recommend creating and using a standard account for day-to-day use. The standard account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone.When you are logged on to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if you want to do something that affects other users of the computer, such as installing software or changing security settings, Windows might ask you to provide a password for an administrator account.Regards,Manasa P – Microsoft Support.

Hi Manasa, yes other users can login. Is there a windows disk management api or some other api by which i can protect the partition from deletion/format.Actually, currently all OEM RESCUE/RESTORE/BACKUP partitions on laptops can be deleted with no effort. I am just figuring out how to protect the partition so that a user can't delete/format it at least from within windows.Regards,
