volume is the boot partition and which one is windows partition as followings the boot partition usually has a size of 500 megabytes or less has a fat32 file format in gpt disks or ntfs in mpr disk most often its label is system or reserved in mpr or has a hidden lapel in gpt disk windows partition usually has a size of 20 gigabyte or more and it takes the c or d letters in my case the boot partition is volume number one with ntfs format in the mpr based system and volume number three with fet32 format in the gpt based system also it has the c letter in mpr while in gpt it has no letter assigned to it in rare cases windows partition lost the assigned letter and will appear with empty entry under the ltr column in this case you have to assign the letter that you have seen from bcd
