Hi also your section that picks up the disk ID value currently picks up the length
When I changed it to 
Private Function id_Read() As String

  Dim s As String

  Try s = Quote(Dbus[$sBus & $sApplication][$sMyPath, $sBaseInterface & "Drive"].Id)
  If Error Then s = ""
  Return s

End

It still fails to see the id,
 I include a small script I use to identify disks, it does get the Disk ID
I hope this helps.
