My Dell Studio 1745 which came with the "hidden" partition shows up clearly in Gparted (PartedMagic). Found that out the hard way when the windblows 7 blew up and the restore function failed. Something had creames that "hidden" partition. Had to argue with Dell until they finally sent me installation media as required by law. There is no longer any "hidden" partition on my laptop which is running openSUSE 11.3, Fedora 13, FreeBSD 8, and windblows 7 for my wife to use.
