not exactly sure what this means, but this is what Gparted is showing me
partition filesystem size used unused flags
/dev/dha2 fat32 4.21GiB 3.21GiB 1016.36MiB <-Hidden Partition
/dev/dha1 ntfs 182.1 GiB 7.28GiB 174.82GiB boot
Ah Huh!
We found a hidden partition! About 4 Gig in size
What's this other Partition? It's probably the small recovery partition for Windows (Xp or Vista?)
How do you access this partition?
Well usually there is a prompt (like F10) or something, when you turn on the computer. Selecting this prompt will allow you to restore your entire computer back to when it was delivered.
But...
If you format, or install Windows clean using a Windows CD, the prompt will also be removed (very annoying I know) mind you, it also contains Trojans!
Now what to do with this new found partition (I don't like removing them basically)
You could contact the computer manufacture support page, and actually get this prompt back (usually a small boot config program to load up)
But...
The Trojans!!!
And scanning it, may remove important system files from being restored one day
???
Thinking again
What are your thoughts on this?
