clicking

OK

in the Unhide Partition window, you'll add the pending operation to

partition unhiding (your actions may only undo or modify an existing operation, See
3.4.5 «Modifying pending operations»).

Unhide partition window

The partition Hid label will disappear from the Flags field.

Note that the Advanced Æ Unhide

sidebar item is changed to Advanced Æ Hide after you

select a hidden partition from the list. The partition context menu changes the same.

If you unhide the only primary partition on a disk, it will be set active.

Unhiding a partition in Windows 98/Me can change the order of letters assigned to other

partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop working. A detailed discussion of partition

letter assignment rules for various operating systems appears in 4.1 «Creating A New

Partition».

Server main window.

2. Select

Disk

Æ Advanced Æ Set Active or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar list,

or click
