Hard Disk Serial Number Changer, free and safe download. Hard Disk Serial Number Changer latest version: Change your hard drive serial number effortlessly!. This free to download application is an easy to carry and light program that confers users with t. Changing the serial number entails writing to the firmware area of a HDD. That has finite risks. Also, some of the tools are of a dubious nature and may not work as claimed.
I have been given a couple of SCSI hard drives though this question may apply to any disk. I deal with wiping disks all the time but I have found that the serial numbers on these drives in no way relates to the ones printed on them. I write wipe the drives 3 times but the serial numbers stay the same. I can only guess that the serial is in some hardware on the outside of the disk like a ROM chip and that this has been somehow changed. Does anyone know how to change the serial number of a hard drive, in Windows or Linux? I would be very grateful.
- Also you do not need to change details on the client side of the computer since the client is in control of the client machine the client can spoof all information being sent to a server or a browser. Its pretty simple when you have the facts available.
- please , please, please stop speaking on matters which you do not know about. If you do not know if the hardware serial number can be change just say you do not know do not make yourself look unintelligent on the matter by misstating facts. When you misstate facts you make yourself look like an idiot to the people who are familiar with the facts. Let me help you identify an example of device hardware manipulation: cable boxes dummies. And if you do not believe me then do a query in the justice system and read the thousands of police reports collect on criminals caught with modified cable boxes for quick cash. Also when you post comments instead of just letting your mouth run how about providing some references. You can change the GUID the Harddrive serial number and any other number on any machine. If you can forge currency anything else under the sun is game. 'Think before you act'
- Thank you all for your input, to follow up on the repllies. I am sure that the S/N is stored in the firmware. As to why, we sell on hard drives that are wiped and people generally expect serial numbers to match.. These particular ones came out of a server rack. Over 130 of them the serial number corresponded to the printed label, and 5 did not. We tried to see how the number had changed and the best suggestion that we came up with was that the firmware pcb may have been changed but this was unlikely. I think these guys may be on to something

http://www.xboxharddrive.com/freeware.html - Here is a link explaining exactly how to change the serial nimber of a volume and a hard drive:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/changing-or-spoofing-hard-disk-hardware-serial-number-and-volume-id/ - Exactly what I was thinking Jim, Why would you want to change them?
- You cannot change the hardware serial number since it is stated in the device firmware!
- All hard drives have a hard coded serial number for the same reason that network adapters have a hard coded MAC address. I can only imagine the disaster that would occur if you had 2 drives in a RAID Array with the same serial number. Probably would open a hole in the space/time continuum. Plus I think the RAID would end destroyed.
- Bruce is spot on. The serial number is 'hardwired' into the controller. You can't overwrite it, and this is by design. As far as I know, the same is true for PATA & SATA as well. Serial numbers should not be confused with GUID, which is a unique number (but _not_ a serial no.) allocated to a drive during formatting.
- The drive's (hardware) serial number is generally embedded into the firmware of the drive and is not something that can easily (if at all) be modified. Depending on the format of the drive, the OS may also embed its own serial number during a full format process on the drive. This can be changed at will but the process will depend on the format of the drive in question.

4. Hardware Spoofer
HWSpoofer was tested and is only compatible with Windows 2000/XP but works along the same lines as PB DownForce in spoofing the hard disk’s serial number. The program has no interface and you simply execute it to patch the system, an ini file will be created in the same folder with the spoofing details.
If you want to change the spoofed serial number, simply delete the ini file to generate another set of numbers. To run HWSpoofer again you will need to reboot the the system as blue screens or crashes are likely to follow if you try to run it again. Like PB Downforce, HWSpoofer will also try to spoof your network adapters MAC address.

5. Object Tree
This tool does something a little bit different and actually hides your drives and optionally network adapters completely instead of trying to spoof the serial number. Open the program and Expand [ROOT] -> GLOBAL??, select PhysicalDrive0 and then click Hide. Alternatively, you can click on the File menu -> “Hide all PB related symbolic links”. To get the drives back again, select Unhide all entries from the File menu.

6. Chameleon
As most of the tools mentioned above are not really made for newer Windows operating systems, Chameleon is probably the only hardware ID spoofing tool that can run on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Chameleon runs in kernel mode (Ring 0) to change the hard-coded serial number on hard drives and also the MAC address on network adapters. Currently it is limited to 32-bit version of Windows but 64-bit support will be released later this year.
The process of getting Chameleon to run can be a bit long. After purchase, you need to create a forum account and upgrade it to VIP from the provided web control panel. Then download the software, extract and run the Loader as administrator which will automatically generate a hardware information text file. Go back to the control panel, go to Update HardwareID and enter all 5 information from the hardware information text file. You will instantly receive a license.dat file to be placed at the same folder as the Loader file. Now you’ll need to rename the Loader.exe to any other file name, such as raymond.exe and then run it as admin.
![Hard disk serial number spoofer Hard disk serial number spoofer](/uploads/1/2/5/2/125290583/911707109.png)
A Setup.ini file will be generated and saved in the program’s folder. Open Setup.ini file with a text editor such as Notepad, and change the NULL to any spoofed serial number that you want with the exact same length as the originals.
Save the changes made in Setup.ini and run the software again. You will need to wait for a while until you see a window telling you that “Chameleon has been loaded successfully”, which means that your hard drive serial number has been successfully changed.
ORGANNER, the company that develops Chameleon promises that the upcoming version 2 will be easier to manage from the web panel. Chameleon cost €69.95 for a lifetime license with 2 hardware ID changes.

Special Note: Do be aware that because of the nature of these tools they hook Windows functions at a very low level (ring0) and do behave rather like rootkits in the eyes of security software. Your Antivirus program will definitely complain that PB Downforce and HWSpoofer are trojans so you will have to either allow them in your Antivirus or turn it off temporarily while using these tools.

Chameleon appears to be dead. I guess none of these tools that are currently available work for newer operating systems, sadly.

ReplyAbout PB DownForce.
It is mentioned that It will spoof your hard drive’s serial number but temporarly. So you’ll need to spoof your hard drive’s serial every time you open the game and connect to that certain server you’re banned in order not to get tracked?

ReplyI’m trying to use PBdownforce on win 7 64 but I’m getting error: “communiction failed”. Any help on this ? Any other tool to spoof hdd serial on win 7 64 ?
ReplyAs stated in the article PBDownforce doesn’t work on 64-bit Windows, we couldn’t find any free tools that do.
ReplyPBdownforce asking for password to run.
ReplyIt’s written clearly on the download page.
ReplyAnother utility which allows changing of a volume serial number is “MiniTool Partition Wizard”, what’s more it changes the whole 32 bit long serial number, not only the last 16 visible bits (8 characters).
ReplySorry, my mistake – MiniTool reports Volume ID as a 8 byte (16 characters/64 bit) value, while other programs report only 4 bytes (8 characters/32 bits). Don’t know what is the leading 32 bits, but the last 32 bits is the same as reported by VOL utility.
Replyhello! PB downforce is very useful for me but can you please tell me how to use my own serials and macs? I mean… what is the standard format? because I fill the fields with original and new serial and it doesnt work. Thank you very much!
