Windows 10: A question about Diskpart

Hello,

I found Diskpart very useful but I still don't understand how I can make it show the labels of the disk.

I mean, when I do "LIST DISK" I obtan the disks inside the PC in a numerical way and their size.

Also, if they are GPT or not.

But in the case we have some disk with the SAME SIZE it's easy to confuse and it's also Dangerous.

How I can have also at least the LABELS of the disks in order to avoid to damage something? In order to select the RIGHT DISK without any issue?

:)

 

Windows 10 doesn't start

Hi Engelsen and thanks for reply my question. I've finally achieved to solve my problem with the tool diskpart. Despite of I had formated the new disk and marked the partition like active, I had to to this with diskpart. After reboot, windows starts properly.

Regards.

Disks don't have labels - volumes do.

If you select the volume you can use the detail volume command to see what disk it is on.

Code: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> diskpart Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.15063.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

or you can select a disk and use detail disk to show the volumes on it (and the disk ID if that is any help). Code: DISKPART> select disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> detail disk Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB Disk ID: 6D282B59 Type : SATA Status : Online Path : 0 Target : 0 LUN ID : 0 Location Path : PCIROOT(0)#PCI(1F02)#ATA(C00T00L00) Current Read-only State : No Read-only : No Boot Disk : Yes Pagefile Disk : Yes Hibernation File Disk : No Crashdump Disk : Yes Clustered Disk : No Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 System Rese NTFS Partition 500 MB Healthy System Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 64 GB Healthy Boot Volume 2 D NTFS Partition 164 GB Healthy Volume 3 E Rescue NTFS Partition 4495 MB Healthy DISKPART> select disk 1 Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

Also,
See the last column (Gpt) under list disk in the screenshot by lx07 above?
If the disk is a GPT format it will have a * in that column for that disk.
Neither Disk 0 or Disk 1 in that screenshot are GPT.

 

I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard Free which is easier to use than Diskpart. Select the partition you want then Label to change the title.

 

One thing to be aware of is Diskpart (and Disk Management) start numbering disks from disk 0. Partition Wizard starts from disk 1.

You wouldn't want to do something in Diskpart based on the disk number taken from Partition Wizard.
