I would like to rid of not mounted ntfs partition from Nautilus' right panel ( I just want 352 GB Filesystem - d drive to be there.

enter image description here

First of all 352 GB Filesystem is in fact d so I do not know why it is duplicated.

Secondly I have put Acer and SYSTEM RESERVED to be nouser mounts on purpose, so that I (or sombody else) will not format it (or else) by accident.

So my /etc/fstab looks like this :

#comments.......
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0

First, your fstab should look like this:

#comments.......
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
UUID=1384cee0-6a71-4b83-b0d3-1338db925168 /               ext4    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
UUID=e3729117-b936-4c1d-9883-aee73dab6729 none            swap    sw              0       0

...no need to automount Windows recovery partitions, etc.

Now, to remove partitions from the left panel, create a udev rule:

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/hide-partitions.rules

... and paste in the following:

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="hide_partitions_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="hide_partitions_end"
KERNEL=="loop*|ram*", GOTO="hide_partitions_end"

################################################## ############################

# Let's hide sda2 and sda3
KERNEL=="sda2", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda3", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

################################################## ############################

LABEL="hide_partitions_end" 

...save and exit.

That should hide the "SYSTEM RESERVED" and "Acer" partitions after a reboot.
