Disk Management for this 32-bit UEFI tablet shows....

300 MB Recovery Partition
100 MB EFI System Partition
49.95 GB Win8 partition NTFS
8.00 GB Recovery Partition NTFS

I thought you must have a MSR on each GPT disk. I know the MSR doesn't show in Disk Management but I checked Diskpart and there is no MSR.

That's what they say:

I know some versions of windows wouldn't see anything on a gpt drive if the
msr didn't exist.
