If you want to see the contents in system reserved partition, go to Disk Management and assign a drive letter to the partition. Also, open Folder Options, move to View tab, tick Show hidden files, folders, and drives and Hide protected operating system files(Recommended) options.

I suggest you remove the drive letter after viewing the contents
