how to force windows to report a false hard disk serial number?

Well not to try and disrupt your coding
but since your using the API call GetVolumeInformation
this can be hooked and give any result back to
pVolumeSerialNumber. btw there are utils to change
your volume serial permanately so all they need
is 1 copy and that will be the end of it. If you want
it secure you better put bios info and even more
hardware finger prints onto the hash.
