Based on that GPO you can set that as a registry setting, so as a command that would be;

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoDrives /t REG_BINARY /d 04

Hides the C: drive. If explorer is open then explorer needs to be restarted for that to take affect.

Hide these specified drives in My Computer" in server 2012 has a description of working out the number used to specify what drives to hide;

NoDrives is the Microsoft page with information on that registry key.

You can do it by using the following method.

Start --> Run and type cmd and press Enter.

Type diskpart and press Enter.

DISKPART>list volume

DISKPART>select volume H (drive you want hide)

DISKPART>remove letter H

You can hide drives also with the Group Policy objects.

You can hide the drive using group policy.

1. Start the Microsoft Management Console. On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.

2. Add the Group Policy snap-in for the default domain policy. To do this, click Browse when you are prompted to select a Group Policy Object (GPO). The default GPO is Local Computer. You can also add GPOs for other domain partitions (specifically, Organizational Units).

3. Open the following sections: User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and Windows Explorer.

4. Click Hide these specified drives in My Computer.

5. Click to select the Hide these specified drives in My Computer check box.

6. Click the appropriate option in the drop-down box.

Please refer the link.
