Unhide hidden drives

Recommended Posts

OK. like a plonker ive used a tool called RatRescueCenter to check my start ups and a enable a few things on my laptop, in the advanced restrictions you can restrict a whole lot of things but at the bottom is an option to hide a drive, so ive hidden one of my partitions and the cdrom drive (like a twat) but i can not get them to show.

i have opened computer management, under storage my other drives are there but not the ones ive hidden

im hoping someone can help me with this as i need to format and cant without a cdrom :)

also the partition i hidden has ALL my files on,

thanks :)
