Depending on why your trying to do it, and who your trying to hide it from, you could simply create a partition to store 'hidden' things on, and then disable it from showing up in Windows Explorer using the NoDrives registry key. It's fairly well hidden from the casual observer, but it's not going to stop someone who knows what they are doing from getting to it (since you just manually type the drive letter into the address bar to get to it). Again, depends on the scenario and whom it is you want to hide it from.

As for hiding things inside other files, its pretty easy to do, although if you want to make sure said file still works as it normally would (and hence does not stick out as being unusual) you have to pick a file format where you can deliberatly leave gaps in the file structure to hide things in. Incidentally, you can do this with the MIX file format used by Renegade for .mix, .dat and .pkg files fairly easily. Just don't be surprised if you hide a 700mb iso image inside a .jpg file and someone notices it Razz
