Hard Drive ID number
Does my hard drive have an ID number? Yes, actually it does. This is a hardware ID number that the computer uses to identify your hard drive. For many people this is useless because hey, whats the use of knowing that?. Well many people does.
Well!? What is it then?
In short, the serial number of a (logical) drive is generated every time a drive is formatted. When Windows formats a drive, a drive’s serial number gets calculated using the current date and time and is stored in the drive’s boot sector. Regardless of which operating system you run, the operating system uses this number to separate two or more disks.
Why would someone need to know this number?
You could use the volume serial number to enforce a weak form of application protection. If you create an application, you can make your application refuse to run if the current disk (from where the application is executed) has a volume serial number that is different from the number of the hard disk it was first installed on.
Basically, if your a programmer or a file engineer, these numbers are vital.
We had to use these numbers a couple of times and got tired of searching for them the hard way, so we created an application that finds them for us.
We here at NV.net therefor wish to share this FREE application with our readers just in case there are some of you who really need to know these numbers, or just got curious and want to try it out. This is only a viewer and will not change anything on your computer. It is also a standalone software so you will not need to install this one.
We will try to create an ID changer that will be released in not to long we hope.

Start your Android phone as an OS on your computer
How to start your android phone’s operating system on your computer with a nice graphical touch? It’s very easy and we’ll tell you how!
The Preparations
The first thing you need to do is to head over to the android market and download the free application called “AirDroid”. This application will stream and beautify what you would normally see on your android phone. Once installed, start it and swipe to the right side. There you will find the settings. To prevent other to interfere with your session, we suggests that you set the password control to “ON” and set a personal password. The next you should do (this might only be handy for advanced users) is to set a custom port. This will prevent the session to get in conflict with for instance Torrents, or other applications roaming around on the network that requires specific ports.
And this is just about it.. You should now be ready to start.
What’s Next..??
Just turn on your phones WIFI and wait for the signal bars in the application to turn green. Once they are green you should see a “Start” button appear. Hit it..!
Now, walk over to your computer and open a web browser. Type in your android phone’s IP address and port and the login screen should appear. What you should write in the web browser’s address field is shown on the AirDroid application after pressing the
“Start” button. The address should look something like: “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:<Port number>”. In our place the this is how it looks: “http://192.168.10.170:8888″. Just remember that this is based on the network router settings and the pre-set port number.
When you now see the login portal we suggest that you hit the F11 button on your keyboard. This will put the web browser in a full screen view. Now you may log on.
Which features do I have?
Once inside, you may:
- open text messages
- send and receive SMS
- see/edit the call log
- browse or edit the phone book
- install/uninstall apps
- see the phones status like CPU/RAM/Battery/disk space
- browse the SD card using a file explorer
- download/upload from the SD card
- Kill running apps
- And much more…
Things that we are not able to do, is to start applications, and call other people using a headset or like other telephone applications like Skype. But hopefully this will come in later versions as this is a growing project..
Nordic Vikings will follow this application and keep you updated as they roll out.
