How do I find and remove a hidden partition?
I am trying to install Go-Back (Now from Symantec) on a recently reformated hard drive. I get an error message and install exits. The Symantec data base address this error exactly and states the install will not complete due to a hidden partition at the start of the hard drive.
I am trying to install Go-Back (Now from Symantec) on a recently reformated hard drive. I get an error message and install exits. The Symantec data base address this error exactly and states the install will not complete due to a "hidden partition" at the start of the hard drive. It should be deleted or moved to the end of the HD. How do I find it and remove or move it? The drive itself is formated as one partition, drive C:

You can use fdisk to find any non-DOS partitions and delete these or you can use Partition Magic to do the same thing. I prefer PM just because of it's GUI interface and it gives you a lot more options then fdisk does.
The fdisk app will be on any Win 98/ME startup/emergency boot disk you've created
