Knowing volume names given the drive letters

NTDEV

Hi,
For versions of windows less than Win2000 is there a way for me to get to
the unique volume name (that has GUID) if I give a drive letter say C:/ .
Thanks,
Arati

I believe that unique volume names started with W2K. You won’t find them on NT4 and earlier versions of NT.

For windows < w2k, there is no unique id associated with a volume. Only on
windows >= w2k, Mount point manager assocates unique guid to each volume.
