Hide boot HDD from user

I am doing some work for a client and they aren't particularly computer-literate.

I am going to use an SSD as their boot drive and then a 1TB HDD for their files and such. I don't want them to have be able to 'see' the SSD from Windows but I want Windows to run from it.

Is there some way of hiding the drive (the SSD) from the user but still allow the OS to use it?
