A. Windows NT provides functionality to change the volume name of a disk by using the command
label <drive>: <label name>
Windows NT does not provide built in functionality to change Volume ID's, however NT Internals has produced a free utility that can be downloaded from http://www.sysinternals.com/misc.htm called VolumeID which can change the volume ID of a FAT or NTFS volume. To view a drives current Volume ID you can just perform a
dir <drive>:
and the volume serial number is shown on the second line down, e.g.
Volume in drive E is system
Volume Serial Number is BC09-8AE4
To change enter the command
volumeid <drive letter>: xxxx-xxxx
