All,
If you have two volumes the exact same; say an image copy. And I want to
mount this copy as a virtual disk via a new named device object. In the
past, as long as the DO was different, disk signatures made no
difference. As long as the volume is on a different DO.
I am concerned that in later hot fixes to W2K and XP may not allow this
anymore. I have a driver that on some newer W2K systems (newer meaning
SP and hot fixes), my virtual disk fails to mount; it did before these
changes.
Is the system (NTFS) preventing the disk with the same signature from
mounting?

I believe it is the disk manager that is dismounting the disk when it finds
a duplicate signature, it is not the file systems. Your going to have to
have a unique signature for each disk in order for them all to mount.

XP won’t even install if it finds two disks both the same. It yells at
you in the textmode setup screen. A real pain in the ass if you happen
to have dual-ported scsi systems.
