They way i did this was to boot into windows and then rename the C: drive to be ".windows" without quotes. The fullstop means it is hidden from the desktop in Mac OS X

Boot into Windows and put a period in front of the name of your C: drive. (ie ".Local" or ".C")

Once OS X boots up, the drive will be hidden because OS X hides folders that start with a period by default.

You must have an NTFS partition. Read the threads linked above.

You need to change the icon from withing Windows. (Where you can write to the partition).
