partition.
Note: When you boot the system to the hidden partition, you
cannot use other utilities (e.g., FDISK.EXE) to change the hidden

Deleting the hidden partition
Important: You cannot recreate the RDM hidden partition once
you delete it. Before proceeding, make sure that you will not
need to create a hidden partition in the future.
Follow these steps to delete the hidden partition:
a Insert a bootable diskette into the floppy drive.
b Enter the BIOS Setup and set the Hidden Partition parameter
in the RDM BIOS to Enabled.
c After the system boots from the floppy drive, use FDISK to
delete the RDM hidden partition. Do not delete other
partitions or change or reformat the active partition.
d Exit FDISK and reboot the system.
e Enter the BIOS Setup and set the Hidden Partition parameter
in the RDM BIOS to Disabled.

You can install any or all of the operating systems. For the
