Many laptops and computers comes in our days without recovery cd, the OS and driver are in hidden partition.
I will show you step by step how to unhide this partition. You will need to use the Ultimate Boot CD.
Be aware that you can lose all your data in this operation, you should bakup all your important things before.
This, is working with acer aspire laptops and probabily with a large variety of computer with hidden partition.
First boot in bios menu by pressing F2 key on boot,
disable the d2d recovery, change the boot menu to boot from cdrom first,
insert the ultimate boot cd in your cd drive save and exit.
The UBCD will boot now. In the menu chose F3 filesystem tools ; then chose [1] MBRTOOL ; after chose your boot option(for me 2 is working well).
Enter in Mbr tool first take a pen and a paper.
In the menu chose -6 Other option
then -5 edit partition table
chose your disk number generaly disk 0(your disk number is in green at the upper right corner)
enter source type , type is original 'O'
Here we are. Now take realy care there are 2 blue line one for current value and one for new value.
In the column 'TYPE' the entry 1 should be 12, note the value on your paper well, we will now edit this
entry by typing 1.
Don't change the value in the column 'ACT' and in the column 'TYPE' put the value 0B.
Hit S key for saving, hit esc . Eject the UBCD and reboot.
After boot in windows go to my computer you will see a new disk named PQSERVICE you've done it.
In this disk you can find your drivers and windows files. We will explain in another review how to make a
real windows cd with these data.
Since that you have finish with these data you just have to repeat the operation and change back the value.
Ultimate Boot cd is free to download.
