Index isn't exactly secret.

But has anyone ever verified/or debunked that MS creates a hidden hard drive partition?

Yes they do, it's called MBR and if you can delete it you haved solved all of the microsoft misteries < /SARCASM > There is information stored outside of the normal partitions and it should not be tampered with.

You may be thinking of the early on (DOS 3, 4, 5, 6) methods of the making a single compressed file that mimic a (visible) hard drive.

Back when a 20 Meg hard drive was "BIG."
