Hi, Major PC vendors store their system installation/rescue disks in 1st partition (and call it service disk). I'm wondering how they are able to hide the partition from Windows. Is any tools under Linux that can create such hidden partitions from Windows. If so, how? and can Linux access such hidden partitions?
