Is there a way to know what's the current partition that my OS is using?

For example:

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\Windows
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Windows

Thanks!!!

Microsoft calls the partition containing the operating system the
"boot partition". It calls the partition that contains the boot files the
"system partition". (Yes, it seems backwards.) Usually (but not
necessarily), the boot partition and the system partition are the
same partition. You can use Disk Management to see which is
the boot and system partitions. (rt-clk My Computer, clk Manage,
clk Disk Management.)

As for the entries in the boot.ini boot option file, there can
be no "partition(0)" since the partitions are numbered starting
with "1". But for the entries in that file, the partition argument
specifies the partition where the operating system resides.
