Retrieve Cluster Disk Signature on x64 Windows System

You can retrieve cluster disk signature information on x64 system where the 32bits version of dumpcfg isn't compatible or return empty values.

The alternative tool for dumpcfg on the 64 bits Windows system will be diskpart utility which is part of the OS installation. I will walk you thru it from the following steps :-

1. From command prompt type DISKPART
2. You are at the diskpart utility prompt DISKPART>
3. DISKPART> prompt, type "select disk X" whre X is the disk number you are looking at
3. DISKPART> prompt, type "detail disk"The "Disk ID: " value is the disk's signature.

DISKPART> select disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> detail disk
