Besides disk Utilities and Turning the drive on and off (as I have 1 partion left mounted) Is there a way to remount the volume I just ejected conviently? Also can I hide some of the partition volumes (like the boot partition) off the desktop while leaving another volume on the same external drive shown on the desktop.

you can mount a volume manually through unix.
diskutil mount 'volume name'
You can run that from the command line in terminal, but I usually put this in an applescript do shell script and run it from the script menu, like follows:
set volumeList to {"volume 1", "volume 2", "volume 3"}
set theChoices to choose from listvolumeList with multiple selections allowed
repeat with thisVolume in theChoices
do shell script "diskutil mount " & quoted form of thisVolume
end repeat
As far as showing mounted volumes on the desktop: Finder preferences has separate checkboxes for hard drives and external drives, if you want more fine-grained control than that you'll have to start paling with the visibility of the items, which is not something I know about off hand.
