Access EISA partition

[g_goyal2000]

I have an Acer & a Dell Laptop.
Both have an EISA partition each which I can't open using Disk Management in WinXP.
All it shows is "Help" when I right click on it.
Is there some way I can access it, or assign it a drive letter so I can open it?

Come on folks.
Isn't someone out there who can answer my query???

by accesing it do u mean accesing it so dat u can use it 2 store ur own data?

if so den u probably have 2 delete d partition and crea8 a user-accessible partition usin partition magic

Actually, I need to open so I can access the data in it.
U see, I didn't get any rescue disk nor Windows CD with them both.

Well, all it says is how to make your own recovery paritition.
I want to know how to access a factory made recovery partition that can't be opened or assigned a drive letter.
