changing serial number on hard drive ?????????

[craig6928]

hi my media player died and the hard drive needs to be replaced


so i bought a new drive and was wondering how can i change the serial number
of the new drive

its because the old hard drive is married to the firmware
so it checks the serial number against the drive

i would like to change the number of the drive


how easy can i do this with the pc-3000 is this a easy to do



thanks

You can manually edit SN00 module and IDNT to change information .

The problem is that beside the SN the DVR *may* have other locks

Only way to find out is R&D , so get to work .
