About Hide Partition

Use Hide Partition to secure partitions against unwanted user access. You can perform this operation on FAT, FAT32, and NTFS partitions. When you hide a partition, the next time you boot your computer the partition is not assigned a drive letter. Conversely, when you unhide a partition, the next time you boot your computer the partition is assigned a drive letter.

Hiding and unhiding partitions (under DOS or Windows 95/98/Me) can cause the drive letters of other partitions to change. When this happens, your computer may not boot and applications may not run. PowerQuest recommends that you allow DriveMapper (a utility included with PartitionMagic) to run automatically to update drive letter references that change as a result of hiding or unhiding partitions.

If your hard disk has more than one primary partition, only one is visible by default. When you use the Set Active operation, PartitionMagic unhides the selected primary partition and hides other primary partitions. While you can unhide more than one primary partition, we recommend that you do not.
If you are running Windows NT/2000/XP, partitions are not hidden automatically; therefore, you can have multiple visible primary partitions.
