As long as a drive is "MOUNTED", its desktop icons will show on the desktop of whichever drive you have booted from. That includes the drive icon itself and any other document/file/program/alias/etc icon that you have on the desktop of any drive that is active. With multiple drives, your desktop can get very cluttered in a hurry. That's why I try to keep my desktops appearing clean with only a folder showing. The folder holds aliases to my favorite playthings and I can get to them from any drive.
