Remove EISA hard disk hidden partition under Vista

  
This article is all achieved through the Windows Vista system comes with tools, it is rare. However, the user's operation requirements are relatively high, the implementation methods are manual, slightly cumbersome, on the Vista partition problem, it is recommended to use Acronis that fool type software.
Most of the current brand computers have a one-click restore, and the restored content is stored in the hidden partition of the EISA configuration. The general software cannot operate it to ensure the security of the partition and system restoration. This kind of function is really a chicken-rib function for some people who don't use one-click restore (I'm just), and it's extremely uncomfortable to watch that a few hard drives are wasted there.
Searching on the Internet for a long time, most of them said that you can restart it to DOS, and the skills are higher. After the author's unremitting efforts, after researching some tools that come with Windows, I finally found a tool. :Diskpart.exe.
About the Diskpart command: Use this utility to enable storage configuration from a script, remote session, or other command prompt. Diskpart enhances the Disk Manager graphical user interface (GUI).
The following describes how to delete the hidden partition of EISA configuration under Vista.
1: Start the command prompt as an administrator (Start -> Program -> Attachment -> Command Prompt -> Right click to run as administrator) and enter "diskpart.exe" (no With quotes, the same below), hit enter
2: After Diskpart is running, it will be transferred to the DISKPART prompt, enter the "rescan" command and hit enter, scan the hard disk configuration
3: Enter "list disk" to knock back Car, display disk list
4: Enter "select disk disk number" (example "selectdisk 0") Press Enter to select the disk where the hidden partition is located.
5: Enter the "list partition" command, hit enter, display the partition of the selected disk

6: Enter the select partition partition number (example select partition 2) hit enter, select the partition of the hidden partition number.
7: Enter delete partition override to delete hidden partitions.
Then open Vista's disk management to assign a drive letter and format to this partition, and then you can use or merge into other partitions.
This operation is not difficult, but it is recommended that users with DOS command operation experience operate.
PS: Since there is no XP installed, it is not available under XP. It is said that this tool is also available under XP. The principle should be universal.
