Could you please attach the output of
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
(or sda as appropriate). If it's something like "Compaq diagnostic partition", edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and in the entry for the recover partition add
unhide(hd0,3)
above the chainloader line. Change hd0,3 for the appropriate partition. Does that then make any difference?
