Afaik, there is no method to password protect the drive/folders w/o using 3rd party s/w!

But u can use gpedit.msc to protect/hide particular drives from explorer!

Open gpedit.msc and goto:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer

in right-side pane, u'll see two options:

Prevent access to drives from My Computer
Hide these specified drives in My Computer

So u can hide/protect ur desired drives using those options!
