Please can sombody explain to me what a volume ID is?
 
Volume ID = <drive letter:> xxxx-xxxx

Example: C: Hard Drive

"Hard Drive" is the Volume ID.
 
Thanks Carey,

So is a volume ID unique to evry system?
What would hapen is I has two systems with the same volume ID on a network?

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:
