You can read the HDD Volume Serial Number - see the function
GetVolumeInformation for details. As far as I'm aware, this number will
always change if you reformat a disk. I used to use this number for
protecting software, but I discovered that if you buy a batch of computers
there is a good chance that several machines will have the same volume
serial number.
