This sounds like a must have utility, but why do you hide your DOS partitions
from windows?  If you actvate partitions in a different order, would drive
letters be assigned in *that* order, or are they always assigned by
hardware order?  (My method of mirroring windows systems relies on being
able to convince any of two or three partitions that they are "C:" when
they are active, so being able to play around with activation order could
be really useful).

> gdisk 1 /-hide /p:1
> gdisk 1 /act /p:1

Why do you hide and then activate the same partition?
