Open Configuration Editor (Press ALT-F2, then type gconftool and hit
Run.

Then select: apps, nautilus, desktop, then uncheck volumes_visible.
While you're here, you might want to check home_icon_visible,
computer_icon_visible and trash_icon_visible. (Show a link to your home
directory, computer, and the trashcan on the desktop)
