On earlier versions of windows before Vista there were ways to hide a hard
disk partition from Windows. I can't seem to do it in Vista. I have
utility called Ranish Partition Manager which I use to tinker with the
partition table. Also there is the MountedVolumes registry key that I can
delete and make Windows 'forget' it ever saw the partition. Those methods
always worked before. Not with Vista. The only way to hide from Vista is
to remove the partition from the partition table. That's not what I want to
do. Some opportunistic programs might claim the space. Some person might
assume its free space and use it. This computer is HP Pavilion laptop. I
am trying to hide the Recovery Partition - or else make it 'read only' or
'write protected' - same thing.
Does anybody know how to hide the recovery partition on this HP Pavilion ?
