Hidden partition

[Myron Slover]

I set up my harddrive with Fedoracore4 and Ubuntu. I have a 80 gig hd.
I set them up with each an individual home partition,root partition,
and boot. They share swap.
  Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80054059008 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155114 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1         406      204592+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             407       30882    15359904   83  Linux

/dev/hda8           73045      102108    14648224+  83  Linux
Qparted lists dev/hda9 as being a hidden partition. I saved 25 gigs to
install another Linux distro. I cannot use the 25 gigs I saved because
it is flagged as hidden. I installed fc4 first and then Ubuntu. Ubuntu
labeled the 25 gigs as hidden. I guess I need to learn more about
formatting hardrives. How do I flag the partition as not hidden?
Thanks,
