When I installed XP (or any OS for that matter), I am not prompted to give the HDD a volume ID. Does this affect the performance or security of the OS or HDD? When I put in the second (storage) drive on this box, I used the disk management tool and gave it a volume ID, mostly to be cute. Now I wish I had been able to put one on the primary drive, too.
What, if anything, am I missing here? I don't really know much about it, but it seems I read somewhere a long time ago that a volume ID was good to have. Can someone fill me in on this little mystery?
BTW, I do this on all new installs by using a running system and the disk management tool.
TIA!
