I want to password protect certain HDD's in my G5 PM Dual 2.7 It has 5 drives

Can I do this?
Block access to whom/what? and for what purpose?
If I let people use my computer I don't want them to have access to all the
HDD's on the particular machine. It's easy to do it with an external, just turn
if off but an internal is different.
Curiously, can't you do a Get Info on the HDDs you don't want others to
use and set the permissions for "no access" (except for yourself, of
course?) Or if there are particular people to whom you habitually grant
access to your computer, make accounts for them and set it up so only
YOUR account can access those HDDs you want to keep private for yourself
only -- or set up a generic account for 'anyone who wants to use my G5'
to which you give them the password, and from which those HDDs are not
accessible?
