I am having almost the same problem. I accidentally hide my recovery partition while messing around with GRUB. During the process of fixing back my boot loader, win7 created another partition and place a bunch of dell utilities in there. I tried unhidden the recovery partition with grub, it wouldn't do it. I tried changing the GPT ATTRIBUTE with no result. Any suggestions would be appreciated.$0 $0

I just installed six new hard drives to maintain my data on my hard drives. Then reinstalled Vista Ultimate because I got tired of the one hour boot time. I thought that maybe after all the updates where done the problem would be fixed. It is not. I can span the other five drives and vista says it is healthy. I reboot and the drives are off-line and will not reactivate. So I have to convert to basic and respan making them dynamic drives. The computer does a format and says all is healthy. Then I reboot and they are gone again. Any one have any Ideas why this is happening?
I have ran chkdsk and all is healthy until I reboot and they are all off-line again refusing to reactivate.

I have a preinstalled recovery partition on my note book computer I want to delete do you know how to delete it

One of my hard drives has gone missing. It was working fine until I tried installing an aditional one.

Now I can only find it in the Disk Management application and it appears to be unallocated. How can I get it to be recognized again without loosing all my files?
