Default Limit user to certain partitions

I have an XP Pro machine that has three partitions. The C drive is the system
drive with Windows and programs. The other 2 partitions are just for data.
There are 2 users on this computer. The first user is the boss at the office
so he has access to both of the "data" partitions. However, the boss would
like the other user to have access to just one of the two "data" partitions.
How can this be done? Group Policy? I know that a Basic User in XP Pro has no
permission to access to any admin's personal folders, but how can I apply the
same security to not folders but a whole partition?

Create a new user group with desired members, not forgetting to include
yourself and Administrator. Now set permissions appropriately on the
resource.
