    How? You must not be using it on a partition that is currently running an OS. Tere's no way to get a lock.

    You can use TBOSDT

    runtbs script.tbs

    I used two scripts...

    script.cmd

    Code:
    @echo off
    CD /d %~dp0
    set path=C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\win
    tbosdtw64.exe script.tbs
    echo.
    pause
    Create a text document and copy Nate's script into the document. Rename it script.tbs.

    Right click script.cmd and Run as Admin.

    The drive containing the Hadron partitions was a data drive.

    My Partition IDs are locked. Maybe that's why we see different Partition ID results. My Partition ID of 0x17 will always be 0x17 after a restore and boot. You can lock Partition IDs in BIU.

    That would be a good idea. Mine got all messed up once. I can't remember what caused it.
    I think the first indication was when my Drive Snapshot backups started failing.

    It's easy to do. In Boot Edit, select the partition you want locked, click Properties, "Lock to Entry Num". The Entry Num is the GPT slot. When locked, there are brackets around the Num. You can lock multiple partitions,

    I have these locked...

    Thanks, Brian.
    They should be locked by default.

    Sorry. I can't see the Lock option.
    I must be blind.

    You must have a Boot Item in Boot Edit.

    I've been using Partition ID locking for years. I tried BIU without Partition ID locking today and I now understand what you have been saying about the IDs changing under some circumstances. I've re-locked the IDs.

    @Brian K
    That's why I thought it would be a nice addition to have a Partition ID column in PartWork for Windows.

    By the way. I'm not at my computers right now. I'm tapping away on my phone, but doesn't PartWork for Windows have Partition ID locking?

    No, it doesn't. You have to be booting a Boot Item from BIU to use Partition ID locking,
    If you are booting a single OS you can hide the BIU Boot screen with the "IT Mode" setting. BIU is still working so you can have Partition ID locking but you won't see a BIU Boot menu. This is a personal setting. I prefer to see the menu.

    OK. Thanks, Brian.

    I agree.
    The Partition ID is the GPT # plus 1

    I'm pretty sure Reflect shows the Partition ID down below in the graphical drives display. In fact, I think I've also seen it somewhere in IFW.

    PartWork for Windows v2.04 is now available.

    Has anyone done any proper testing with PartWork for Windows yet?
    Partitioning applications are not something that I use regularly.
