Hide doesn't hide from Win2k?

I have three SCSI disks and 1 IDE disk in one of myu systems. I am using
Grub 0.90 to boot up into one of 4 OS's I have installed. My BIOS is
set to boot SCSI first then IDE. Everything works fine. The only problem
I am having is that I reformatted one of my SCSI disks to be entirely
Linux (fdisk type 83) and I am now having problems with it in Win 2K.

The problem is that if I boot into Linux, fdisk this one disk to be
all one partition - sdc1 - type 83, and then logout and boot into
Win 2K with this partition specified as hidden in Grub, Win2K
nevertheless sees the partition and worse than that - it changes
the partition type to "93" ! In Windows Explorer it turns up as
"Local disk".

So how do I prevent Win2K from seeing this partition?
If I boot into WinXP, that OS does NOT see the partition!

Here is my setup:

hd0 - /dev/sda - Win2k

hd1 - /dev/sdb - Win XP

hd2 - /dev/sdc - Linux
        /dev/sdc1 - type 83 (sometimes)

hd3 - /dev/hda - Win98 and Linux
        /dev/hda1 - Win 98 (C:)
        /dev/hda2 - extended partition
        /dev/hda5 - Linux swap
        /dev/hda6 - unused
        /dev/hda7 - unused
        /dev/hda8 - /home
        /dev/hda9 - /src
        /dev/hda10 - /

and my menu.lst:
