I was playing around with mountvol and had a few questions.

1. If I move a USB hard drive from one computer to another will it
have the same VolumeName? If not, would it be possible to export the
VolumeName's and reimport them on another computer? ie. maybe all of
this is store in the registry?

2. Will a drive whose mount point has been removed on one computer
still have a removed mount point when plugged into another computer?

3. One of the "examples" of mountvol that is given is MOUNTVOL [drive:]
path VoleName. [drive:] is easy enough to figure out. What's an
example of a valid path? I have a USB stick whose mount point I
removed and then tried to remount to D:\test (where D: is an already
mounted drive). That got me a "The parameter is incorrect." error.

Also, if you try to mount an already mounted drive, will you always
get a "The parameter is incorrect" error? I tried it just now and got
that and.... well, that just seems like a rather inelegant error. If
it can't mount already mounted drives, it should just say so. ie.
"The VolumeID has already been mounted" or something, instead of "The
parameter is incorrect".
