Is there any way to see hidden partition?
Hi,
I've got an Acer Aspire One Netbook computer and I'm led to believe that because it wasn't supplied with a Windows XP disc, the Windows XP Install setup is held on a hidden partition on the PC. Is there any way to reveal this hidden partition? Is there any way to backup this partition onto optical media? (I have an external USB DVD-ReWriter so that's not a problem) The reason I ask is - the computer comes with a 120GB hard drive and I'd like to repartition the hard drive and have a Windows XP - Ubuntu Linux dual booting system. TIA.
