Anyone know of a way to tell OS X not to mount my windows drive? It's a bit annoying because when I run a spotlight query, it'll search the windows drive before the the Macintosh HD.

 

For example:

 

spotlight query: Terminal

 

Results: Hyperterminal.lnk

 

--> Then if I show all, I can tell it I want the results from the Macintosh HD. I've tried adding the entire drive, to the privacy list, but that isn't working.

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT: Hmm maybe this wasn't waste of forum space.

 

Seems my only solution is to unmount the windows partition (luckily i keep my files on a seperate partition... but this really stinks for those of us who have files they need to access in windows)

 

To do this i made an easy automator workflow that unmounts the drive (shell), saved it as an app and have it run at startup. Seems the osx86 version crashes each time so I had to run the app using rosetta. Slow, yes, but it works.
