Issue/Introduction
When using the DevViewer Tool to obtain Device ID's from disks, it sometimes fails to retrieve device ID's from additionally mounted partitions.
Resolution
In the registry there is a list of installed disks. This will list their device ID's as well as other information.
You can find this list of devices here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Disk\Enum
The values will be labeled 0, 1, 2, etc. The value data for each of these will contain the device ID.
For example:
"1 REG_SZ USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_&Prod_Patriot_Memory&Rev_PMAP\078807B90E1D&0"
