Nifty little utility
« on: June 28, 2005, 07:23:29 pm »
I just whipped up a nifty little utility to detect and display your HDD serial number given by the HDD manfacturer.

For you non-XP folks this utility will not work. Sorry.

Actually its the code that worth something as it would be a nifty way to license your software. It is why I made the code available.
