From: Shel on 27 Jun 2005 17:28 Will I be able to unhide the hidden drive partition(s) when I receive my Dim 9100? I want to be able to image the partitions to a usb external hard drive for safekeeping so I can then delete them from the internal drive. I have Partition Magic 8.0 and Acronis True Image.

Yes, but you can image them if they're hidden. Also, why delete them? They aren't that big.

Acronis True Image (and probably others) will let me do this. |
