    Ok...for those of you that are gonna tell me..."YES" I did use the search button and i found the links to how to do it. The problem for me is that I'm not toooo much computer saavy and everything is in Japanese so there are things I can't read. I ended up getting to diskpart.exe, but i still can't read alot of that. I couldn't even follow how to get to the computer management :( . I'm not too familiar with Vista since I've been XP for awhile so I don't know where many of the links are by heart.

    I guess for Outrigger since you've already done it... if it's not too much to ask can you please tell me step by step how to recover the hidden partion, save everything from that partition, and where to actually go to format the OS? I got to the part of diskpart.exe but things are still in Japanese and I can't tell what I'm doing :confused: :confused:
