- I'm using MSVC. Does anyone know how to determine the serial number
- of a disk. This is the number you get when you issue a VOL command
- from the DOS prompt. I was thinking of using this number as a method
- of copy protection.
- Anybody know the sector, head, and cylinder where this number is
- stored?
