Isolating a Jump Drive

I was wondering if there was a way to isolate a jump drive from the computer. Running in its own instance if you will. Specifically isolating it from administration rules.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Do you want a partition to be inaccesible from your main OS?

If that would make the usb drive, ignore software permissions. Then yes.

I think what you want to do is simply go to settings of any directory and then into tab security. There choose SYSTEM and click on Edit below. Uncheck every box and repeat this steps for the Administrators group. If you do this you will be the only user of your rig with access to given directory. A great way to hide your porn I suppose...

Well in all honesty I'm trying to get Steam running from a jump drive on my school computer. The admin hold many of the rights to using programs. I can't even use photoshop at school.

That won't do then. While the OS of the school computer won't be able to manage what's on your jump drive, it won't give your home user administrative rights either. If you did what I said above to your jump drive you wouldn't even be able to see what's inside your jump drive at school. I think the only way to bypass the settings of permissions in your school would be to use software generally referred to as malicious (rootkits).

Edit: And that's wrong. Obviously.
