Re: correlate volume number to disk ?

Run diskpart then "list volume". You get something like this:

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 1 X DVD-ROM 0 B
Volume 6 C Windows 2K NTFS Partition 6142 MB Healthy System
Volume 7 E Windows XP NTFS Partition 6142 MB Healthy

Occassionally I get an error and a volume is identified. The same message
shows up in the event viewer under system. For example:

"{Lost Delayed-Write Data} The system was attempting to transfer file data
from buffers to \Device\HarddiskVolume2. The write operation failed, and
only some of the data may have been written to the file"

I only have one hard drive. At the time the error occured I was transfering
a bunch of files from a network server to my C drive. However, I had an
acronis true image mounted as "D" and a removable flash mounted as "G" or
so.

Poking around the event viewer I also see this message 22 minutes before the
delayed write failure:

"RSM cannot manage library PhysicalDrive1. It encountered an unspecified
error. This can be caused by a number of problems including, but not limited
to, database corruption, failure communicating with the library, or
insufficient system resources."

The above error looks like the acronis image I mounted had problems???? I
am guessing as the phrase library is used rather than hard disk. The source
header in the event viewer identfied the problem as "Removable Storage
Media" whereas that Volume2 error header simply said "ftdisk"
