If the drive is formatted NTFS just right click the folder and goto the security tab. Then give just the users you want to be able to see it access.

There are many third party utilities like Folder Guard, Folder Privacy and so on. You may want to go to www.downloads.com and try them out free and then register if you find any useful.

You will also find some free ones.
