HOW TO GET BACK DRIVE PARTITIONS THAT ARE HIDDEN WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

In this post I will tell you how to retrieve hidden drive partitions in your system.

Let us first know how the partitions get hidden.
This happens mostly when you install your operating system improperly. When this happens you can see that a whole drive which has a lot of memory will not be shown.

So, how to get them back.

You will think that you have to format your whole system again. But there is no need.

Your windows operating system will have a file named diskpart.exe.

This file can be used to do a lot of things with your drive partitions.

1. First you have to "open the command prompt" window in your system.
2.  Then type "diskpart" in your command window. A new window will open OR in the same window a message will appear as"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
   Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
   
   C:\Users\username>diskpart"
3. Then type "list disk". 
4. If the drive that is hidden is in disk 0 then select the disk by typing "select disk 0".
5. Then type "list partition".
6. If the partition you are searching for is partition 0, then select that partition by typing "select partition 0".
7. Then type "active" to activate the partition.
8. Type "assign" to assign a drive letter to the partition.

 Now your hidden drive will appear in your my computer window.

Not only this but diskpart can be used to do a lot things with your disk drives.
I will tell you about them in my next posts.
