Help Me please...( how to locate UUID )
- Thread starter sabandza

See the below
-------- >>>>>> How to Change the Disk Signature of a Drive Without Losing Existing Data or Reformatting (howtohaven.com)
Read carefully, step 7 details how to change the GUID\UUID.
Then read again!
As detailed in step 7 run the following command before attempting to change the number.
The above command will show you some syntax etc.
Again read carefully.
Particularly the last paragraph of step 7 (quoted below)
I don't know why you want to do this, nor do I really care.
Just be careful.
As the author of the above article says, "...at your own risk".

I guess I don't know what you are talking about.
Yes the above info is for the HDD's Windows assigned UniqueIdentifier.
Do you mean the Windows product code?
If you are trying to activate a pirate version of Windows then you are in the wrong place.
Do you mean a BIOS password?
If you want access to a computer that isn't yours, again you are in the wrong place.
An honest explanation of what you are trying to do might be helpful here.

Frank is correct -- if you are attempting to do anything illegal (I.E activate a pirated version (torrent) of Windows 7 then you are in the wrong place and are in violation of this site's policies.
If you are trying to gain access to a computer that is not yours -- again, we cannot and will not assist you further.
Please explain your reasons for obtaining the UUID / GUID and as long as they are for just and legal purposes we will assist you further.
Thank you for your understanding,
Jessica

You guys are ridiculous! There are loads of viable reasons some one would want a UUID, and not one of them I can think of involves pirating windows. If you don't know, it's easy enough to say that. Instead you acted as though you were taking the high ground by not answering. Now here I am attempting to find my hdd's UUID and I have to spend time wading through your sanctimonious diversion from the fact that you just don't know...
And before you ask, I'm attempting to hide my win-raided hdd's from my dual boot OS that can't use them. Not that it's any of your business.

THANK YOU for not being all weird & paranoid & suspicious... However I believe the OP was seeking the UUID of the partition/volume itself which I knew how to find at one point but I've since forgotten & I'm now seeking the solution again myself. I believe that the volume serial number may also work (although it is not specified in the documentation- one of the developers shared that with me). I believe that my purpose is the same as the OP if I understood him correctly- I'm also looking to hide and/or rename entries of a powerful open-source bootloader.
@HoochShepherd: I hope you have since found a solution to your imquiry! If so, consider posting it for the sake of those who may be in a similar predicament- or even for yourself in case you forget it at some point after not needing or using it for a couple years (like myself).. I will post here if I figure it out again.
