Is there anything on a SRD which identifies the computer on which it was created?

I have more than one PC and have created Custom SRDs for each one.

Unfortunately I did not mark the discs so I cannot tell which belongs to what computer.

Is there any way to indentify the computer from the content of the disc?

Not really. If you included the license key, you could open the BOOT.wim file with something like 7-zip and navaigate to this file...

 

SOURCES\BOOT.wim  Windows\Shell\V2i\licensekey.txt

 

If you open that file with Notepad, you will see the license key without spaces.

 

Hope that helps.

If you added custom drivers, you should be able to tell by booting the disk in each system to see where it works.

If you use Red's suggestion of using 7zip to open the .wim file you can see seperate folders for each custom driver that has been added under:  BOOT.WIM\1\Symantec\Sre\DriverStore\

Thanks for the info guys.

One system is XP, the other is Windows 7, so something should probably pop out at me.

Hi HairyScot,

 

You can insert the SRD in any one of the computer's, then from the auto run menu you can choose to run Driver Validation, this will compare the drivers on your computer with the drivers present on the SRD, if the SRD is correct then driver validation will report that all necessary drivers are present on the SRD, if not then you will be informed about the missing drivers.

 

Hope this helps to match the computer with its correct SRD.

 

Thanks,
