Right-mouse click on the desktop>>Congiure desktop, then on behavior>>DeviceIcons tab>> uncheck (un-X) "unmounted cd-rom". It should work.

How do I remove the default Hard Drive icons from the desktop.
I've remove the lines in fstab for them but they (the entries in fstab) return upon reboot. The icons stay no matter what i try
