The same thing I see in Partition Manager. You're right, of course,
that hidden partitions are visible to partition-aware utilities --
though not, by nature and design, to the OS at large.
In any event, yeah, "mounted devices" was one of the first things I
tried, and I should have mentioned that here. I still believe the
reason this isn't working for the first time has something to do with
the fact that these are, for the first time, SATA drives.
Where else does the system store information pertaining to the GUID?
