Question about setting boot flags ...

I noticed that on old computers it's sometimes helpful to ad a boot flag to the boot partition. When selecting the flag function initially, there are quite a few options which could be used. So I'm wondering about the following ...

... is it possible to mark a partition as "non-existent" (invisible in the file manager), to prevent anyone from accidentally storing files on that partition? And if so, which flag name/descriptor would that be? In other words, that particular partition would only become visible again if it's unmarked by Gparted or some similar application.
