4.Partition properties
A partition is a continuous area on a hard drive, characterized by its offset and size. There are partitions on
basic disks, dynamic disks, and recognized volumes and partitions. R-Studio treats regions like partitions.
More information...
Initial offset for the partition.
File system type for the partition. If the record in the drive partition table is incorrect,
this property may differ from the actual file system type for this partition. Still, R-
Studio will process this partition correctly, as it does not use this property.
Appears under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 only. Shows the number
of the partition on the physical drive.
For regions and recognized partitions, Partition Offset and Partition Type properties can be manually
corrected.
5.Compound volume properties
A compound volume is a union of several partitions or other disk objects. Each union type has its own rules,
unique for each compound volume type. Among compound volumes are: Volume Sets (RAIDs Level 0),
Mirrors (RAIDs Level 1), RAIDs4/5/6 (RAIDs Level 4/5/6), both physical and created by the user (Virtual
Volume Sets, Virtual Stripe Sets, Virtual Mirrors, Virtual RAID5).
More information...
Main properties of compound volumes are parents (disk objects from which a compound volume is
created) and their order. These properties may be viewed in the Parents tab. For user-created compound
volumes these properties may be altered.

6.LDM disks and volumes (Dynamic Disks)
LDM disks and volumes are volumes controlled by Logical Disk Manager (LDM). They are represented on a
hard drive as a LDM database rather than partition tables. Under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7,
LDM disks are also called Dynamic Disks.
More information...
Initial offset of a logical disk on a hard drive. For disks, initially formatted by LDM,
this value is often 31.5KB, for converted disks, it may be larger.
Supposed number of parent partitions for compound LDM volumes. If the LDM
database is not damaged, the value of this property must be equal to the number of
parent objects in the Parents tab for the disk object.
Global Unique Identifier of a computer system where this LDM disk group has been
created.
Global Unique Identifier of the LDM disk group.
Global Unique Identifier of the hard drive.
Global Unique Identifier of the volume.
Local hard drive Identifier, unique within this LDM disk group.
Local partition Identifier, unique within this LDM disk group.
Local component Identifier, unique within this LDM disk group.
