My son is about to get a Mac SE/30 with a 40MB drive for use at school. 
He wants to be able to create a primary parition, e.g.  35MB, and a . 
secondary parition, e.g.  5MB.  He wants to be able to password protect
the secondary partition so he can use it to store personal files.  Is
partitioning the best way to address this problem? The partitioning
described by Apple in the utilities manual doesn't appear to do what he
wants (only the primary partition is mountable, other partitions are
reserved for non-System software such as AUX).  Is there some public
domain or inexpensive partitioning software that would do what he wants?

I've seen postings for a number of file/folder password utilities -
would any of these be suitable instead of partitioning?

Thanks in advance for any help
