Give us more details, like your partition setup and how whatever partition was hidden.

I dunno what your trying to do but you could boot with a ,say win98 or whatever disk and use fdisk to
see the partition.
What is the o/s?

If it's a common fat / reguardless of the operating sys you should be able to peek at the table.
Powerquest software I have if your in a bind - back to I think pq-3.0 lmk

sorry, I just reread what you wanted.To un hide a partition you may have to run fdisk and make that partition readable or use another type of disk edit program to get to what you want.

Use fdisk and set part 1 as active and don't worry about deleting part 2. That should work.
