You can hide/unhide a partition with any partition manager.  I use
GParted.
<http://gparted.sourceforge.net>

To recover your T43, see:
<http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_recover_the_preloaded_OS>
<http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Rescue_and_Recovery>

If you wish to preserve the data on the hard disk, I would advise you
to make an IMAGE backup of your hard disk before proceeding.  I use
Acronis True Image 2011, but there are free versions that should work.
If you make a mistake, restore the image and try again.

Also, it might be helpful if you would supply the name of the
operating system you're trying to recover.
