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
