| hide linux partitions from Windows XP |

Hi,
I have almost always used dual boot here, but I am using LVM
since only a few
months. To my dismay, Windows does NOT auto-ignore these
partitions, giving
me useless D:, E: , drives.
More than the inconvenient of having my CD-ROM drive letter
pushed away to the
middle of the alphabet, I am constantly startled by the
possibility that
Windows actually corrupts my main OS partitions'.
So, does anybody know how to hide non-FAT partitions from
Windows? I am using
Edgy 6.10 up-to-date.
regards
FF

I did this on my other computer when I dual booted to windows a lot more. ; You can also search google for 'windows partition hide' to find some more user friendly directions.
So, does anybody know how to hide non-FAT partitions from Windows? I am using
Edgy 6.10 up-to-date.
