It appears I don't have an ETpro guid anymore... I know this guids are created by hardware, but I don't seem to have an conflict. Is anyone formiliar with this problem? I am especially interrested in an solution since some idiots ban me for this

Thanks in advance,
Zenza

You should direct the idiots here if they don't believe you.

Some say that the guids are based on the HDD serial, so changing your primary disk may give you a new guid.

I tried the HDD switching thing, it's not working

. Also most admins don't like discussions, there 'level 3 status' gives them a god feeling. Think I have to cheat and spoof a guid then

bah I dont like that idea at all, but no choice!

Why keep a secret if it has no value?

I also remember my GUID changing on the same HW during the course of reinstalling WinXP, but I can't remember at what point (it was either after installing SP2, or drivers).

On Linux, it's based on your MAC address and is thus changeable at whim.
