Can Wine support it ? Both on the drive_c under .wine or any mapped real win partitions ? If you drop into wine cmd and type C:\>dir Volume in drive C is JUSTMYTEST Volume Serial Number is 0000-0000 the JUSTMYTEST I was able to set using the label command and can see it is stored in the .windows-label file. But the serial number is zero, the sysinternals volumeid utility returns Unable to open VWIN32 virtual device driver: Invalid parameter

(I'm guessing it's the latter. I've heard of sysinternals, but I haven't used this particular utility.) The fact that it opens the VWIN32 VxD is a red flag to me. Win32 programs that open it typically use it to make DOS calls.
thankyou Charles

ah yes the Advanced button

I forget the hyphen in my blind experimenting :-)

Yup I had it set to Win98 for other reasons setting it to WinXP get
Error reading drive: Bad device type
many thanks,
I was not particularly looking to make Volumeid work, it was just an attempt to
set the Volume Serial Number having determined that it was not set at drive
creation.
Only remaining question / suggestion is that a (random) Volume Serial Number
should be created during wineprefix creation to mimic real.
