    3. diskpart> attributes volume clear hidden

    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
