Try ( theres no need to disable any repo's )

Code:

su
yum install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins cairo-dock-themes

Try

Code:

su
gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi

Then copy the code to it

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> 

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
  <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false">
    <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">
      <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
  </match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

That worked, no more unwanted icons...
the cairo dock is also awesome...!
thanx y0...
