Is there a way to determine the volume serial number of a HD or diskette? I mean, my Samsung 4.3 Gb hard disk after formatted had the number 2844-1DE2. Can this be changed by software? I want to know if there is a way to make a software to check if it is really running in the media it was actually compiled to. If someone tries to copy a program that was originally compiled to run in a HD with the number "1234-5678" then the program won't run... Unless there is a way to change manually this number. Is it possible? I know every time a person formats the HD or diskette, another version would be necessary.

Thanks for any help!
