[parted-devel] Query regarding GUID for Windows Partitions

[Arun Prakash Jana]

Hi,

I am writing a utility from scratch to create GPT-based Windows Partitions
from Linux and then backup the data from a source partition. I am referring
the parted code to check how the GUID can be generated.

>From information in wiki I understand that the DiskGUID and
UniquePartitionGUID for Windows partitions can be can be Class 4 GUID
values. However I am not clear if it is OK to generate the other bytes in
the GUID randomly and then Windows will recognize the partitions.

Does Windows recognizable GUID need to satisfy any other condition other
than it is a Class 4 GUID?

Regards,

Arun
