x31 Hidden Partition...

[all0gic]

Gooood morning people, I have two x31's. One is fine and I've been trying to get into the recovery partition to copy it to my new drive...but every partition utility i've tried to view the hidden partition cannot see it.

Do you fellow IBM X'ers know how to view the drive and copy the data onto another drive/partition?

I've even tried cloning the drive, but it still does not have the data on it???


Many thanks!

Give that a try.

I believe you can make it visible through the BIOS. Under Security->IBM Predesktop Area-> change the option to "Disabled" - you should be able to clone/copy your drive/partition. Just remember to change it back afterwards
