    Windows Search is confusing two of my HDDs -- how can I correct this?


    I'm still not sure how Windows was confusing them in the first place. Even though one was cloned from the other, DISKPART reported their Disk IDs as being different GUIDs. And now it seems that the DosDevice number is not used to uniquely identify GPT drives. So where exactly was the information stored that caused Windows Search to confuse them?

    But if cleaning the old drive has really resolved that confusion, I guess I'm ok with not knowing!
