Can you be more specific about what you did to set the flag and what you used to verify that it was/was not hidden? – kbyrd Apr 15 '10 at 16:21

There's no such thing as a "hidden flag" for ext3 partitions. Or for any partition, really; the partition identifier gets changed to something else instead (0x0b -> 0x1b, 0x07 -> 0x17, etc.).

There is no way. Just don't mount it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 15 '10 at 16:36
