View Hidden Partitions?

[Guest ColTom2]

Hi:

 

Is there am easy way to view hidden partitions in XP (MCE2005)? I am

almost sure that I read something about this in a previous posting, but I

have not been able to find it now that I need to know.

 

Thanks

Use disk management to view any partitions not assigned a drive letter

You should be able to see them with the Disk management tool, but you

won't be able to explore the contents. To start the disk management

tool enter diskmgmt.msc in the Start Menu Run box. To view the

contents of the hidden partitions you will have to change the hidden

status flag of the partition with a tool like PTEDIT32.EXE or use other

third party tools that can bypass the hidden status of the partition.
