zoomie Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have two drives on my Hackintosh. One has my Leopard partition and a FAT32 partition. The second drive I use solely for backup via Time Machine. There's really no need to see the Time Machine drive on the desktop. So here's what you do: Finder menu -> Preferences Unselect "Hard Disks" from the "Show these items on the Desktop" section in the General tab This removes ALL internal hard drives from the desktop. So now you need to create an alias for each drive that you DO want to show on the desktop. Finder doesn't allow you to use Cmd-L to create an alias of a hard drive, so you need to do it with the Terminal app. Open the Terminal. Then at the command prompt, type: "ln -s /Volumes/Leopard ~/Desktop/Leopard" (of course, you need to replace "Leopard" with the name of your drive) Good Luck and Happy clicking!
