Volume Number to Deploy Image on to
Just looking some confirmation that the "volume #" as displayed in diskpart is the correct number to enter into the volume field, when creating the task for a single volume deployment.

Hello, Richard
I'm sorry for the delayed response.
1. For example, we have a machine with 6 volumes (see Source_machine.png).
2. Then we create a master image of the machine.
3. After that, we need to deploy only one volume, e.g. D:.
4. We select the created master image while creating a deployment template and see the disk layout (see Master_image_selected.PNG).
5. The next step is to select the volume D: to deploy (see Select_D.PNG)
6. We go through the Wizard till the template settings. Then we must specify "Replace volume = 3" (Replace_volume_3.PNG), because the volume D: is the third volume, according to the disk layout (Master_image_selected.PNG).
7. Save the template and perform deployment.
Best regards.

I have worked out the problem and does highlight a potential risk.
The volumes according to diskpart span across multiple disks. So my C drive is listed as volume 4. If i select this as my target in ASD the will smash through my D drive. This is because a newer PHYS drive was inserted into disk 0 (dont ask, i have no idea either). which i guess means your volume # pertains to the volume number as the image sees it for one disk.
i guess if i simply ignore the volume number that windows sees (on diskpart) and target the volume as the image sees it i will be fine.

Richard,
Since you're having recovery issues, you should have a valid support case with technical support at no cost. I would reach out to them to see if they can assist.
As I read the ocumenation, dynamic disks are not supported with Snap Deploy though..

"Imaging and deployment of dynamic disks/volumes is not supported."
