Diskpart Can we change the DISK Number within WinPE

Question

Diskpart.exe
list disk

I want to know if its possible to change the disk number in Diskpart within WinPE? Instead of disk 1, is it possible to make it disk 5 ?

Answer 1

The disk # is based on the amount physical/virtual disks configured at the time of command line run. In a virtual environment, you can add disks to the virtual machine and then change the command to DISK 5. In a physical environment it is not possible
to do so unless you have 6 (disk count starts at 0) physical disks connected to the SATA/IDE ports.
