Topic: Hidden partitions
I don't seem to be able to toggle the hidden flag on any partitions like I can with the boot flag, etc. It just ignores it and the box is not checked. Is this normal? Does Gparted show hidden partitions by device name or does it just show empty (unallocated) space with hidden listed after it? (Or none of the above?) Since I have never seen one how would I be able to tell if it was there? Something like a black hole I guess. Perhaps in Linux fdisk -l would show a gap in contiguous cylinders? Sorry so many questions - just trying to learn.
I'm using the live CD - not sure of the release number but I downloaded and burned it on 6-15-07 and it was the latest one at that time.
