Extra Volumes appearing after using MyDefrag

Question

After using MyDefrag, when I start the defrag again, two new drives have appeared - with very odd names.

They are both named the same thing:

\\?\Volume{WhatLooksLikeAGUID}

Note the Guid (and hence the drive names) are both the same - any idea whats going on here?

Thanks.

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2.

Answer 1

most like these are hidden partitions created by the manufacturer, e.g. system recovery, EFI (ASUS netbooks), MediaDirect Partition (Dell only)
