3.4 Enhanced Write Filter EWF
Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8 embedded operating systems are delivered by default
with EWF protection from Christ Electronic Systems. This so called Enhanced Write Filter pre-
vents write accesses to a protected drive (SSD/HDD) and therefore unintentional system chang-
es (blue screens, viruses, user errors, etc.).
- The “C” system partition is EWF protected by default
- The “D” data partition is not EWF protected by default
- Advantage: clean, fast system without viruses and blue screens
