How do I access the files in a hidden partition?

Question

Basically, I have a laptop and the windows installer and other drivers are in the hidden partition. I need the drivers such as the graphics, bluetooth drivers etc..

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try to use "Super FDisk" to make your partition accessible. "Super FDisk" is a little freeware that "knows" how to modify the hard-disk partitions so they are accessible to the operating system. But, whatever you do, DON'T choose to delete any partition or format it, or delete (wipe) files: you will loose any files by doing that.
To find the last version of "Super FDisk", try a "Google" search for "Super FDisk".

Answer 2

the partition that is so called hiden is NOT to be messed around with, the reason you cant see it is because it is not formated, if you did format it you would lose all your systems backup files, in plain english these are the files that the manufacture installed for the restoration of your system, the best thing to do is burn that to a CD so you will have a copy should the puter go down,,
