    I want to unhide my hidden Lenovo T61 Vista Ultimate 32 bit Recovery Partion so I can use vLite and make a non bloatware version for a clean install as I am sick of waiting for the CompUSA anytime upgrade disc. How do I make it unhidden?

    Thanks

    look at stallen's guide...it shows how to remove the hidden partition

    Step 3.
    Now with Diskpart open, you must enter the following command lines:

    I. Type "list disk" without the quotation marks and press enter.

    II. Type in "select disk 0" and press enter.

    III. Then type in "list partition" and press enter.

    IV. Then type in "select partition x" x=the recovery partition you wish to delete (i believe it's 1, i dont recall) replace x with the recovery partition number and press enter.

    V. Then finally type in "delete partition override" and press enter.
