DISK, Volume ID, and OFFLINE - Where are they fixed ?

My WDC 600 GB HDD is identified by DISKPART :- UNIQUEID as

Please tell me, where is that ID written - on the rotating platter that all versions of Windows and Linux etc can read, or is it a figment of the imagination of Windows 7 ?

My system partition C:\ is identified by MOUNTVOL as

Please tell me, where is that ID written - on the rotating platter that all versions of Windows and Linux etc can read, or is it a figment of the imagination of Windows 7 ?

My WDC 600 GB HDD is OFFLINE because I used Windows Disk Management to Write Protect RAW Data and "Unallocated Space".
Please tell me, where is that status written - on the rotating platter, in the WDC internal Disk Controller, or in the Windows registry etc.

I really wish I did not need to know the above - but I do.

I wish to know in advance the nature of my next WDC Secondary HDD disaster,
what will happen when I restore a Macrium Partition Image backup of my Primary SSD partition C:\ in which Windows knew the WDC Secondary HDD as being
ONLINE
and an identity of the form

To cancel sundry installation changes since that image backup was created I wish to restore the image backup,
but I am afraid this might put the WDC back ONLINE and possibly change the WDC partitions yet again.
I have not yet exhausted all possibilities of RAW DATA recovery.

Since that image backup was created there was a Boot-up race hazard disaster.
The result was a fatal handover from the BIOS to Windows which resulted in the WDC having its Disk ID: changed from GPT style to an exact duplicate of the Samsung MBR Disk ID: 000FA830,
and Windows then immediately put the Samsung HDD OFFLINE.
Windows powered up with all SamSung HDD partitions missing because it was OFFLINE,
and all WDC partitions were useless because they are actually GPT style and Windows insists on seeing them as MBR style.
Windows allows me to change the WDC Disk ID number - but NOT back to a GPT GUID

My system has always had a boot-up race hazard.
On a cold power-up Windows has always seen the Disk numbers as
0: WDC HDD
1: Samsung HDD
2: OCZ SSD
Once Windows is running a Restart will change the Disk numbers.
the OCZ SSD becomes either Disk 1 (often) or Disk 0 (rarely)

The WDC disaster happened after I hit DEL during a start-up and entered the BIOS to LOOK AT various settings - but not change them, and then I quit the BIOS and allowed what I expected to be a normal Windows start-up,
and instead Windows complained that Pagefile.sys was missing (that had been on the WDC HDD)
