It might be possible to hide the drive letter in "My Computer," but I don't think there's a way to hide the actual hardware AND still have Windows use it. At least not from a batch file.

I know that this will show the hidden things in the Device Man, is there a way to reverse it to work with the drives?
[ Not reverse this actually, that would just hide my stuff in Device man ]

That's different. What you described is a feature of Device Manager to show you installed, but not active, hardware. (You can also use the menu option View -> Show hidden devices.)
What you're looking for is a root kit, and making such things require detailed knowledge of the Win32 API as well as skill at C/C++.
