Ok, I think I can help here.
You want to stop windows from seeing that drive?
Just disable it in the bios. I know windows wont detect it then. I dont know
quite how linux will respond through. I think linux wont care but the bootloader
might.

Subject: [newbie] Wierd Windows Hard
Drive Problem.
Specs: 40 GB Western
Digital Hard Drive IDE, Primary Master
10 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
IDE, Secondary Master
40GB Partitioned into 18, 8, 8, 8 all Fat 32
10 GB Partitioned into 250MB (swap) 8 GB (/) 1.75 GB (/root)
Windows recognizes 40 GB partitions fine. It also reads the different
partitions as one large partition and allows me to read from the device as
if
there were nothing there. I dont want access to that drive because
Linux is
on it, and I am afraid I will ruin the partitions some how.
Windows says I
have a 10GB hard drive there, it doesnt read the seperate
partitions. Its
wierd.
I just want to not load that device in
windows.
Any help greatly appriciated.
