On my (future) iMac, I'll have two partitions. 1: for Mac OS X (named "Tiger"), 2: for Windows XP (named "Windows").

Is it possible to hide the "Windows" partition from showing up on my Desktop and in Finder?

I want it to seem as though the "Windows" partition doesn't even exist (in Mac OS X Tiger).

Thanks.

Eject it...j/k man.

Oh that was helpful lol.

Right click "my pc" go to "manage" and then "disc management" (or something like that in english lol) and right click the drive you want to modify. Click "change drive letter" and delete the drive letter access.

This wont affect the unit, just the letter used to access it. This way you can hide it but you can still access the contents using that same window.

Edit: Sorry I read too fast. This is for PC only.

This is hard, but there's the standard Unix way of doing these things, detailed on this page and on this one. Be very careful, and remember that the partition will disappear from Finder on next reboot, but still show up in Disk Utility. To follow the instructions on that page, first open up Terminal and type "sudo su", and type your password. To edit the fstab file (read the page first), type "nano /etc/fstab". When you are done and want to save, type Ctrl-X, 'y', Ctrl-M.

Also, here's software that claims it can hide partitions, as well as this, but both are pretty pricy.
