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. ~Lance
