Hi

No...What you have read in the programmer is the NV-RAM which has nothing to do with serial number...The serial number is stored somewhere on the platters in some modules..Not so easy to modify without proper tools.

So you will need to find someone who have the right tools to do it.

Based on my experience on this issue i can tel you that most protection goes for the partition Vol. SN.

Actually, SN is stored in NV-RAM as well as in service area on disk surface.

On ATMR series?...I did't see it...Anyway from his point of view it's useless...He does not have the tools to modify NV-RAM/checksum or SA modules.
