partition.

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

b

Enter the BIOS Setup and set the Hidden Partition parameter
in the RDM BIOS to Enabled.

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.

Exit FDISK and reboot the system.

e

Enter the BIOS Setup and set the Hidden Partition parameter
in the RDM BIOS to Disabled.
