    Windows7 on CF card


    My company uses industrial computers for controlling equipment. These computers use 16GB CF for hard drives with Windows 7. If I remove the CF and plug it into my laptop using a card reader, all I see are the files on the System Reserved partition. The other partition which holds the Windows 7 files is blank. If I put the CF back in the industrial computer all of the files are visible. Any ideas on why I can't see the files thru the reader? Thanks for the assistance.

    My guest is that the OS files are accessed from the server. They aren't on the CF card.

    Sould have explained better. Computer is a stand alone system. There is no server. At first I thought it was due to the laptop running WindowsXP, but we got a new laptop with Windows7 and the same condition exists. Tried the "show hidden files" option. No difference. In disk management it shows the partition size, but if I click on the partition and go to "explore" it shows nothing. When I go to "my computer" it shows the drive but no files. Could it be the USB card reader?
