lol gotta love the repeated fail response.  I think this is related to the Partition Type.  0x7 is normal.  0x27 is a utility partition.  etc.  still trying to sort out how to change the partition type or even find out what it is.  I am having same issue.

What's more to love is the moderator is able to assign his own useless response as the answer...

My solution was to boot with the Windows CD, delete the partition and recreate

This worked the treat for me

Thanx

How to change back 0x7? In certain situations, deleting the partition is not an option.

Hi there!

Not sure for 2008, but for 2012 I solved it by DISKPART> "SET ID=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7".

This string can be Mark -> Copy from >Help SETID screen ...

I found an answer here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_install/delete-all-hdd-paritions-incl-disk-recovery/358e2e3e-c897-45b0-b009-7c35cc8aa77b

Worked from a Windows 8.1 PC by deleting all partitions. Relevant snippet modified  ...

Step 2.
Open the Diskpart application by either typing in "Diskpart" (without the quotation marks) into the search, or type "Diskpart.exe" into Run by pressing the Windows key + R.

Step 3.
Now with Diskpart open, you must enter the following command lines:

I. Type "list disk" without the quotation marks and press enter.

II. Type in "select disk x" and press enter. Where x is the disk number you want to work on.

III. Then type in "list partition" and press enter.

IV. Then type in "select partition x" x=the recovery partition you wish to delete (i believe it's 1, i dont recall) replace x with the recovery partition number and press enter.

V. Then finally type in "delete partition override" and press enter.

Had to revive this thread (it was top of the list on google when researching this issue!), but better fix without having to delete the partition is to force the id to 07, making it unhidden: 07=regular NTFS, 17=hidden, 27=oem recovery (the last one is probably the id of the partition you are having problems with).

Anyways, make sure you go through the process of selecting the partition, and then you type "set id=07 override"

I've been pulling my hair out with this issue. All I get when I try to unhide the hidden partition with set id=07 override is: The specified type is not in the correct format.

I can use set id with GPT disks (the long string of characters) to make the recovery/basic data/system partition disks (there's a list in wikipedia), but the partition that I'm trying to fix stays hidden. SUPER HATE THIS

Did that but now that I have two duplicate volumes shown in diskpart. The first one is normal volume, and the second is his same but hidden!

Same issue! i can't do set id=07! It gives "The specified type is not in the correct format"?

Why does it error to run this command? I copied this command from HELP SETID!

Excuse me, how can you mark your own response as an "answer" when it's exactly what the user wrote, but didn't work? What kind of technician are you? WOW, that's just horrible service at its finest!

Thank you!!!!! I just said how is it that he can mark his own response of what the user said as an answer! What the bleep?! It's just ridiculous. 

Hi,

 

You can perform the following steps:

 

1. diskpart> list volume(find the volume you want to clear hidden)

2. diskpart> select volumeNUMBER(please adjust the NUMBER accordingly)

3. diskpart> attributes volume clear hidden

As someone, myself, working in the IT field as a Help Desk representative for the State of California I cannot just be quiet and....I am in disbelief that the technological knowledge of Microsoft's technicians is so horrible! This information that was given to the user is useless as it was stated in the problem that it did not work and then not only did you mark your own response as an answer, you also marked the additional information that the user was giving you as an answer as well, but he was actually giving you more information so you can better help him. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am disappointed. 

I think this might help more.

In short:

select disk #

delete partition override

This actually worked in windows 7 and windows 10 dual boot situation where I wanted to get rid of hidden partition and reclaim, getting rid of windows 10, also.

Hey All,

     Let me share what worked for me... For GPT Disks...

DISKPART

List Disk
Sel Disk "x"
List Vol
Sel Vol "x"
Set Id=ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
assign letter="x"
attrib vol clear hidden
list vol

Exit

I was able to remove the "Hidden" attributes for EFI, Restore & Recovery partitions without any issues... Although if you want to manipulate any folders with "HIDDEN" + "SYSTEM" attributes, I recommend using CMD (Admin) to remove/add those attributes i.e.

C:\Windows\system32>attrib -h M:\RecoveryImage/install.wim

Where "M" is the letter of said partition you unhid...
