The first one is for the owner's of a Linux distribution they just have to install their Linux as a second operating system and after that they will have total access to the hidden partition.
The second way is by using a GHOST program like Norton Ghost, back up your partition and after you just have to explore, browse, and extract.
The last way is by using MBRTOOL this software is in the Ultimate Boot cd, I'm making this with an Acer aspire but this will work with lot of laptop and computer.
Download and burn the Ultimate Boot Cd at http://www.ubcd4win.com .
Boot your computer and access to the bios by pressing the key that prompt you to enter the bios, for me with Phoenix bios it's the F2 key. In the bios menu disable the D2D recovery, change the boot device to boot cd first, insert the ultimate boot cd, and restart your computer.
After booting the UBCD choose F3 filesystem tools, and after [1] MBRTOOL, then choose your boot option.
In the MBRTOOL menu chose 6 'Other option', and after 5 'edit partition table', choose the number of your disk (the active disk number is in green at the upper right corner) for most people disk 0. Enter source type , type is original 'O' .
Now we can begin, you can see 2 blue line one for current value and one for new value, look the column 'TYPE' the entry 1 should be 12, note the value on a paper, now edit this entry by typing 1. You just have to change the column 'TYPE' insert the value '0B', that's all, hit the S key for saving, escape from MBRTOOL reboot your computer.
After rebooting go to 'My computer', now you have plain access to a disk called PQSERVICE who was the hidden partition.
When finish you just have to roll back.
