    Hi guys, I have an Acer Aspire 5100. It used to come with XP MCE 05. A while ago I bought Vista did a complete clean install. My hdd right now displays a hdd size of 74.1 GB, so does that mean that the acer hidden OS partition is still their somewhere? If so, how can I recover it and make it unhidden so I can make a windows cd.

    TIA
