Windows 7: Partitions - View Hidden Partitions

zh-CN is China.

Thanks SIW - did not know that.

"In the Boot folder you have the boot managers for all different countries and languages – I have opened the CN folder which I suppose is Canada. If your hidden boot partition looks different, you may have a problem."

Strictly there's one boot manager - Bootmgr
the multiple bootmgr.exe.mui's are the "Multilingual User Interface" components for the various languages.
For example the program chess.exe has a chess.exe.mui.

Thanks mjf for clarifying that. I will correct the tut.

Any idea what's going on with this?

That looks like it came from some benchmark program.

Doesn't look good if you use Windows imaging.
Only Windows should write to this partition and even then it can screw it up with journal files.

whs, AS SSD is a SSD benchmark program.
This is widely used on many SSD benchmark sites, known for it's use of non-compressible files.
OCZ has posted the AS SSD results for their Gen2 SSDs, which was suprising due to the fact that it gives much lower speeds than they publish. They use ATTO, for their published speed numbers, which uses compressible files and gives them the highest speeds possible.


mjf, I don't use Windows imaging, I'm using the Seagate version of Acronis for my backups.

Will secure erase this SSD and put it in my laptop next week, when I get my new 120GB SSD.

Was suprised to see this folder in my System Reserved partition, it was my understanding that only Windows system files could be written there.

Dave, I usually use Atto. Have seen AS SSD but never used it. The other one I used was HD Tune. But that can sometimes produce funny results - especially with Vertex.
