- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 2.1, Copyright 1991 Gerald A. Monroe
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Purpose: A utility which displays, and optionally alters, the
- diskette serial number and volume label on floppy disks
- which have been formatted using MS-DOS Version 4.0 or
- later, or a compatible disk format program.
-
- Format: DISKID d: [/Nxxxx-xxxx] [/Llabel]
-
- Remarks: DISKID requires MS-DOS or PC-DOS Version 4.0 or later.
- It works only with floppy diskettes and other types of
- removable media. It does not work on hard disk drives.
-
-
- The d: parameter is required. It represents the drive where the
- the diskette is located.
-
- The /Nxxxx-xxxx parameter is optional. You can use it to change the
- diskette serial number to the string represented by "xxxx-xxxx".
- The digits represented by "x" must be valid hexadecimal (base 16)
- digits within the range 0-9 or A-F.
-
- If you do not specify a /N parameter, the diskette serial number
- is not altered.
-
- The /Llabel parameter is optional. You can use it to change the
- diskette volume label to the text string represented by "label."
- Strings longer than 11 characters will be truncated. To remove a
- volume label, use the /L parameter alone or enter this parameter: /L/
-
- If you do not specify a /L parameter, the volume label is not
- altered.
-
- DISKID does not work on diskettes which were formatted by a version
- of DOS prior to Version 4.0.
