Modify Sd Card Serial Number

I'll be receiving a GPS programs and maps on an SD card soon and would like to clone the card for backup. The software is locked to the serial number of the SD card, so just backing up the data isn't enough. I suspect it is impossible to clone the card completely, including serial number, but thought I'd ask if anyone has investigated this and found a solution. I believe one can change the Volume ID of hard drives and imagine something similar being possible for SD cards. I appreciate that unscrupulous people might clone such cards and sell copies, and I certainly don't want to facilitate that behaviour through this thread.

Given that the program and data on the card in question cost me $183 CAD, I do feel rather vulnerable, even if I can backup the contents of the card excluding the serial number. I have had SD cards become totally unreadable and unformatable and would like to be prepared should it happen with this one. Only freeware, please. Thanks, Larry ┊ 16:17. I'll be receiving a GPS programs and maps on an SD card soon and would like to clone the card for backup. Let me guess: is it TomTom by any chance? Even if you get a TT unit with a hard drive, there is no backup on CD/DVD or anything.

You have to make a complete backup.first. before using it incase you mess anything up. I think it is terrible that you can pay a lot of money and if you are not aware and screw something up, you would think the backup (map) is on the CD - wrong! Hope you find a solution and I know your predicament.you.do.

need that backup because cards fail. (Sorry I can't offer an answer!) LarryS 17:29. In article, says.

This will appear as a binary pair looking like this: 0a33:fa15 (fictitious, of course) This is called the volume no. Or Volume Serial Number. (VSN) Understand we are not talking about the drive Label name. That is different.

Credit Card Serial Number

There are several proggies that will enable a user to recode any particular drive, SD card, thumbdrive, etc. Using any combination of valid binary digits like the above. I always delighted in re-volume-setting my various SD cards with C0DE:FEED (That 0 is zero) Look for a DOS program called SETVOLNO.EXE, 1992 Micrological Designs Lord Possum 18:24.

I haven't studied the file structure of SD cards yet, so am totally ignorant of their structure and nomenclature. I'll try the program you recommend with a spare SD card and see how it goes. Should receive my OCN6 card in a week and will make a backup using a media reader and the desktop before inserting it into the PDA. Hopefully, the autostart inf won't screw things up doing that. I know the program installs itself upon the card being inserted into the PDA.

Probably generates an encrypted key at that point, too. Thanks again for your helpfulness. Cheers, Larry blackivo.@gmail.com 10:16.
