Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

On my IBM Thinkpad X41 the IBM_SERVICE partitions shows up in Computer.

The problem is solved by adding the following around line 130 in 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi

<!-- Hide IBM_SERVICE partition -->
<match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat">
  <match key="volume.label" string="IBM_SERVICE">
    <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
  </match>
<match>

Or as I have done for now so it wont be over written if hal packages is updated,
1. created a new directory /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/90local<?xml version="1.0" 
encoding="UTF-8"?>
2. created a new file 20-storage-methods.fdi with the following in it 

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>

    <match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">

      <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false">

        <!-- Hide IBM_SERVICE partition -->
        <match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat">
          <match key="volume.label" string="IBM_SERVICE">
            <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
          </match>
        <match>

      </match>

    </match>

  </device>
</deviceinfo>
