I've set up bootcamp on my macbook and it's working great.

Two small questions:

1 - In OS X, my windows partition shows up "NO NAME" in caps. Can I rename it or will this screw up my windows xp install in any way?

2 - The No Name HD shows up on my desktop in OS X. Any way I can hide it?

Yes to both questions

You need to rename the drive in windows under my computer & to hide/show
drives go to finder>preferences

Both these actions will not screw anything up
 
How can I hide just the Windows XP Drive? I only see options to hide or show all drives...

Sorry but i dont know if this is possible,but if it is im sure someone else will post your answer if it can be done ( i may have misunderstood your original question) did you you rename the drive ok?
