Hello maintainers, Windows 10 uses a recovery partition which is sometimes marked with partition type 0x27 on MBR systems. I don't know why some vendors use MBR rather than GPT, but it's a fact.
0x27 is in fact defined as Windows RE hidden partition (see https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html). I haven't found a way to create a partition with this ID in parted. I used parted 3.2 which is 4 years old but I don't think is has been changed in Git. For example when I create a NTFS partition and do set 3 hidden on I get ID 0x17. Perhaps a new flag is needed, e.g. set 3 winre on Do you think that parted should support that? Perhaps I could contribute a patch if it's not supported yet. Best regards, Hans-Joachim Baader
