Changing the drive's reporting name comes in handy for industrial applications. Some tools and some video games (Ex. Megatouch) use a renamed hard disk as part of their copy protection. If you have a failing megatouch drive, you can clone it just fine onto anything you want, but if the drive doesn't report "MEGATOUCH20", "FORCE2000a", or a few other thing as its name, the game will simply display a copy protection error. Most Megatouch machines are just Maxtor N40P or drives with a similar form, even though they don't need to be that small. The reason I mention these machines this much is that one of by businesses is simple IT work (mostly done by employees now, not by me), and a few of my customers are bars who bought their machines at the end of the lease (usually a year). The drives almost invariably fail after two to three years, especially in the CRT models, and the company wants to sell you a drive for $300 (which must be accompanied by a $250 technician visit to install it, as they do not sell service parts for the machines). I've usually been putting Travelstar notebook drives in them because they generate a lot less heat, though I have also done a few Cinemastars (very cool for 7200RPM drive) and Seagate SV35s. I'm interested to try a 32GB CF card in an IDE adapter to see what happens now. I've seen this on CNC and data acquisition machines, as well. |
