Windows 7 HDD management.

O have 3 HDDs but all of the have been given the same serial number in
the Computer Management Device Manager. In XP, these each would show
the serial number shown on the HDD label itself.

Also, one of the HDDs (the most recent) refuses to show the label I
have given it in the "Disk Management" windows, and continues to show
just the drive letter in Windows Explorer.

You probably already know this, but posts with binary attachments get
blocked by some NSP's so some of the audience here won't get to
benefit from your contribution, (which I think was valuable). Most
people work around that by uploading a snapshot to an online photo
hosting service and providing a link to it here.

Says the guy whose newsreader isn't configured to post in plain text,
nor is it configured to remove the sig and delimiter from the previous
post when replying. ;-)
