A variety of bootloaders rewrite the partition table in various ways, to accomplish "partition
hiding".
Various ways that partitions are hidden:
- the filesystem type is modified (by far the most common)
- the partition table is extensively rewritten, like I'm suggesting
==> this page suggests terminology of "hidden vs. cleared"
