Answer / aman thakur

I don't think we really need to hide a partition if we are having 2 windows OS installed becoz GRUB makes the chainload entry in it for WINDOWS OS automatically.... But their is also an option to edit the grub menu. So, You can edit the file /etc/grub.conf and remove the menu entry of the OS you want to hide....
