which windows drives are which vmdks?

[max2001]

Hi,

looking online for an answer, the link below seems to be the one that people keep refering to.

I ran the powershell command and had the output as shown in the link, but I still can't figure out from the output how to correlate the physical drive to the appropriate vmdk?

so in the link the guy correlates the last vmdk i.e scsi1:2 to the last drive which is:

deviceID          : \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE5

• $_.size/1024/1024 : 596.162109375
• scsiport          : 3
• scsibus           : 0
• scsitargetid      : 2
• scsilogicalunit   : 0

how does this work or does anyone know of a differnet way for doing this?
