| | Question about MediaID, GlobalCatalog, and GlobalCatalogBackup fil So far I am trying to implement a backup application in Windows Vista like CompletePC backup utility. However, I still cannot figure out how to create MediaID, GlobalCatalog, and GlobalCatalogBackup files in WindowsImageBackup directory, and how CompletePC Restore locating VHD file. Therefore, is anyone known where can download useful documents and give me some suggestions about it? Is any program can open with GlobalCatalog, and GlobalCatalogBackup files? |

| | RE: Question about MediaID, GlobalCatalog, and GlobalCatalogBackup The data of the MediaId is as follows, 90 33 06 B9 7D AD 25 46 86 DF 50 A2 0C AD B4 77 From my understanding, I think MediaID is a unique serial number and media types are including: Flash, Hard Drives, CD, and DVD. meanwhile, I tried to find possible related to MediaId in SDK and DDK. Finally, I got one of the result was kind of related to MEDIA_ID which was AACS_MEDIA_ID structure in Storage Devices of the Windows Driver Kit. The detail of the structure is as follows, typedef _AACS_MEDIA_ID { UCHAR MediaID[16]; UCHAR MAC[16]; } AACS_MEDIA_ID, *PAACS_MEDIA_ID; I am not sure, is it the value in the MediaId File? or is MediaId file containing VDS device serial number? or is it id in VDS_DISK_PROP structure? |
