Disk Management Hidden Partitions - PTEDIT32
- by Kairan
Apparently PTEDIT32 can edit partitions, making partitions that are hidden, visible. My purpose is to take a hidden partition on a toshiba laptop (the recovery partition) and copy it as my hard drive is beginning to fail.
My problem, is that I cannot find PTEDIT32 documentation on what i want to change the partition # to. I know that changing it from 27 to 7 would change it from hidden to active - but if I set it to active, I am worried it will try to launch the recovery mode (as that is what it did on a previous laptop)
Here is the link I used for instructions to do this on a previous laptop: Hidden_Recovery_Link_Site
So how to make the hidden partition visible without it actually RUNNING the recovery mode?
