Does anyone know of a tool to unhide a partition on a 120GB hard drive that partiton magic hid. Everytime I go into partiton it gives me an error #105 which won't let me unhide the partition. Can't see it in dos niether. Important data on the hidden partition. Open to all good suggestions to this.

Hi,

Boot with a Win 98 SE system floppy disk.

If you don't have one go to http://www.bootdisk.com, run the downloaded file to create the disk.

Boot from the disk and at the A:> prompt type

"FDISK"

Say yes to the question regarding large disk support.

Choose option 4 to display current partitioning information.

Post back with this information.

Did you make the Partition Magic Rescue Disks when you installed the program.

You may have to look at a program such as

or

Yes I did make the partition magic rescue disk and booted with those disk and all it did was give me an error #105 each time. Then it shows the disk as bad in yellow. I will try what you said and thanks for all the help.
