Guest AA - Studying MCP 70-270 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Re: Volume ID's Thanks Carey, So is a volume ID unique to evry system?

It's a string of digits (xxxx-xxxx) assigned to the partition when - I think - it's created. Not to be confused with the volume label, a character string that should be meaningful to you, and can be changed at any time by bringing up the partition's properties box. I don't think that having multiple partitions with the same volid would hurt anything, but I don't know. Microsoft has a utility that allows you to change the volid: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897436.aspx -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
Guest Larry(LJL269) Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Volume ID's I4W identifies partitions uniquely by following sequence: C[hd][id] [hd] is source hard drive number (0 through 9) [id] is source partition ID , like 0x4 So C20x4 is a example of total id, which changes if u restore a partition. Just my 2¢ worth.
