It means that the Bytes allocated to the serial number is byte 0x0, 0x1 ,0x2......0x14 (20 bytes). So if the serial number does not take up 20 bytes, you have to "pad" it at the end with spaces, which is ascii 0x20.

eg:
a serial number of 123 = 31 32 33 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
a serial number of abcdefg1234567 = 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 20 20 20 20 20

if the serial number is actually 20 bytes, you dont need the padding of 0x20!

cheers

Hi,
I don't think it is all that hard. Just need to read, reread, read again.

I am not sure you read the supplied info as you are missing vital information that would enable someone to make it for you.

The 4 bytes at offsets 58 - 5B are the total capacity of your WD drive in LBAs. This will be printed on the label, 1250263728. We need to convert this number into hexadecimal format. Google's calculator can do this for us:
