I have 3 disks, of 6 partitons each, with each partition's VolumeID 
set the same across the 3 disks, causing no known problems. This 
also allows Zone Alarm Pro to retain it's Program Control when 
booting a copy. ZAP is obviously keyed to VolumeID as well. In fact 
it's not even installed on the OS partition, but I know that is all 
that's used by ZAP. As on my older machine (Win98 in FAT32) I use a 
Letter Assigner program to boot the copy from software. It can use 
either VolumeID's or Lables, but requires either to be unique. 
However, the Volume containing Windows is identifed seperately. 
Allowing me to Assign Letters based on Lables, and get away with 
just the 2 OS partitions having the same VolumeID.
