How can I protect my HDD??

I need to know: a system with two HDD, one with operating system and the other with my documents.
Suppose that while connected to the internet a virus is downloaded to the second hdd (i.e. the one with my docs) would it infect the other hard drive(i.e. the one with OS)
I know that the anti virus should prevent this from happening but one never knows.
Thanks guys..

The only way is to set a bios password. Make sure you NEVER forget it. You then need to set it to only boot from the hard drive, and turn off any other boot devices. Then set your own password to something he will never guess, set a password for the user administrator, which could be the same password, and set him up an account of his own with no admin rights.

thanks for sharing this information.. it will be very useful for me too..

It depends on what kind of virus. But usually it will only spread if you transfer one file (or copy) that's infected to the other drive. Different virus works in different ways so you'll never know.

Get a good anti virus or even a free Anti-Virus from Microsoft. Then make sure you are the only one who uses your computer because some people are just careless and will download or click anything on the internet.

Great information, this is really what i was looking for, thanks for sharing.
