Hi everybody,
I urgerntly need to find a utility for WINNT
which allows you to change the hard disk serial number 
on your machine.

Can anybody point out some program like that?

Please, if you like respond to the following e-mail address
rather than on the NG:

valetto@cefriel.it

Thanks a million

Peppo

Are you referring to the Manufacturers serial #, which is shown by some
partitioning programs?  Or the volume serial #, which is written to each
logical drive when they are formatted?  If the former, forget it.  The
Manufacturer encodes those numbers into the drives firmware when they make
them - you can't change that.  If the latter, it would take about 5 minutes
to write a DOS program to change that.

BTW, it is generally considered rude to request that responses only be made
via mail to the originator of the thread, rather than posted to the
newsgroup.
