 Harddisk serialnumber I would like to set my harddisk to another serialnumber with vb 6.0 or an
Api call.
Getting the actual serialnumber is no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Akai

Harddisk serialnumber As I understand HDD serial number is hardware defined.
You can not change it.

Harddisk serialnumber Ok, that is true, but there is also a software serialnumber who is written
in the bootsector, that is the one I want to set.
By the way, this number changes when a disk is formatted.

It won't work! These kind of protection systems are very easy to bypass!

Anyway, he should go to http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml and
download the VolumeID app from the bottom of the page.

Harddisk serialnumber Thanks,
I don't want to use this feature for protection purposes, I already tried
"VolumeID" (this utility works fine)
I just want to know if it is possible, and how to change the number via VB
and or with an Api call.
I know it is quite simple to implement in ASM and probably in C, but I don't
know how to make such a routine who is Windows compatible (DLL ?) and to
call it from VB.

Quite simple ...
In 32bit ASM ?
It is a doddle in 16bit
- just an Int 25 tweak the sector and then an Int 26
But I've never suceeded in 32bit.
