Making a volume invisible

[Tony Rain]

and there are options of what you can show on the desktop.

Hope this helps.

Make an Alias on the Desktop of the drive you want to be able to keep seeing,
Go to Finder>Preferences and uncheck the “Hard disks” box under “Show these Items on the desktop.”
The “real” drive icons will disappear, but the alias of the desired drive will remain, awaiting your double-click.
