How to Access a Hidden Restore Partition
By default, Windows does not let you view hard drive partitions set as "hidden." Computer manufacturers hide partitions to avoid the possibility of overwriting any of the restore partition. You can view a hidden partition in the folder options on your Windows computer. This lets you copy, move or delete information to make room for other applications.
