Hello! my hard disk has 3 partition but the other 2 was hidden using Partition Magic for DOS. I now connected my hard disk to a USB enclosure and then to a laptop. I'm in another country now and I forgot to unhide the other 2 partition. any ideas on how i can access the other 2 partition. windows explorer just display one partition as an external drive. Thanks for your help!
