PCI Bus Numbering in a Microsoft Windows NT Environment 38 Windows NT Disk Administrator Disk Administrator, a graphical tool for managing disks, provides status information about disks, such as the partition sizes and the amount of free space available for creating additional partitions. It also includes status information, such as the disk number assignment, drive-letter assignment, volume label, file system type, and size. The illustration in Figure 12 illustrates how labels can assist you to identify drives and volumes in the server. Without labels, the disk can only be identified by the drive letter. IMPORTANT: Compaq strongly recommends that you label disks and volumes with meaningful labels. Sometimes due to configuration changes, Windows NT reorders the disk drives. Drives and volumes that contain descriptive labels can more readily be identified when the system is brought back on line. This might not be a problem in small server configurations; however, as a network grows with more drives and volumes added, drive identification could become difficult, if not impossible, to monitor.

Windows NT Disk Administrator
Disk Administrator, a graphical tool for managing disks, provides status information about disks,
such as the partition sizes and the amount of free space available for creating additional partitions.
It also includes status information, such as the disk number assignment, drive-letter assignment,
volume label, file system type, and size.
The illustration in Figure 12 illustrates how labels can assist you to identify drives and volumes in
the server. Without labels, the disk can only be identified by the drive letter.
IMPORTANT:
Compaq strongly recommends that you label disks and volumes with
meaningful labels.
Sometimes due to configuration changes, Windows NT reorders the disk drives. Drives and
volumes that contain descriptive labels can more readily be identified when the system is brought
back on line. This might not be a problem in small server configurations; however, as a network
grows with more drives and volumes added, drive identification could become difficult, if not
impossible, to monitor.
