Restrict access to hdd or partition in windows 8 to admin only

The answer is actually pretty simple.

1 - Right-click the drive of choice in Computer

2 - Properties

3 - Security

4 - Update access as needed. (In this case, removed "Users")

Taken from "grawity's" post on this link that wasn't chosen as the correct answer, but it definitely is in this situation.
