Remove drive letter from partition during Windows 7 unattend.

Hi.
I have two partitions created during Windows 7 unattend.
- One is for the Windows installation.
- The other is to be a hidden partition that I don't want a drive letter assigned to (I don't want it "visible" in explorer from Windows 7).
How can I accomplish this?
I have tried DISKPART as a runsynchronous command (which removes the letter during setup), but the drive letter returns and is visible when setup completes.

I have altered the question slightly :)
Any help would be appreciated - I can't seem to remove the drive letter before setup completes.

Was easier than I thought.
I just omitted the <letter> tag from the unattend, even though the documentation says "If you do not specify a letter, this setting defaults to the first available letter".
