Only if NTFS is the file system for the system partition.

File protection will not work, with FAT32 partitions.

Is there a way to add password protection to a hard drive or certain
folders on a hard drive? Or are there certain types of hard drives
that come with password protection built-in?

I use a computer shared with others on which I need to protect a
large number of files. I have thought of adding another hard drive
just for my use if I can find a way to secure it. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

If you use Windows XP Pro then encryption is built in so that you can
protect what you need to, at least at the file or folder level. It is
very easy to use and is completely transparent from the user's
viewpoint.
