How do I hide specific drives/partitions in Windows 7?

I've seen some posts on hiding all the drive letters but this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking to hide specific drives & partitions.

I have a PC which shows not only my C: drive for Windows 7 but also various Vista drives & partitions - when I boot into Windows 7.

So, how do I hide my D:, E:, F:, etc. drives which are for Vista? I don't want to see them when I'm in Windows 7.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Angus
