I have a Windows partition that will not leave my desktop. I've unchecked everything and it is still there. It also will not let me rename it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you uncheck CD/DVD, & iPods?

Since I want drives to show up on my desktop, I created an Automator action that unmounts my BootCamp partition on startup. It actually calls a CLI command to unmount the partition...

I just renamed my Windows partition so it can sit there next to my OS X partition. You have to do this in Windows, of course, but using Windows is why you have the partition in the first place, right?

Also, since I have Parallels use my Boot Camp partition for the VM, it "unmounts" the partition by itself when it starts. The annoying part is that sometimes the partition comes back after Parallels exits and sometimes it doesn't until I restart.
