Spectraview 2 Serial Numbers
NEC 2490wuxi Serial numbers - Newer models. I tested the u.s spectraview II software with my i1 display2 and that also worked without any problems.
I just noticed that two of my hard drives (one is the boot drive, and both are internal SATA drives that are always running when Windows (Win7 64) is) have the same volume serial number. I'm talking about the 8 hex digits assigned by Windows when a primary partition is formatted as a drive, not the hardware serial number from the manufacturer. The two volumes are each the first primary partition of separate physical drives. The odds of it happening by chance are miniscule, so I guess this must have happened when I imaged one to the other. That last happened over a year ago, and I haven't had any problems, so apparently it's not a fatal error.

Should I try to fix this, or is the fact that they are on different physical drives mean that there is no way Windows can get confused? CAN I fix this? I'm comfortable editing the registry, and I have a sector editor to edit data on the disk directly, but I can't find the serial number on the disk, plus I'm worried that I may break something if I change the serial of my data drive without going through Windows. Also, how can I make sure this doesn't happen again when doing an image copy? I'm not sure whether this happened using Acronis or Paragon.
Any tips greatly appreciated.

You can see your Volume Serial Numbers by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information > Components > Storage > Drives. It is very unusual for 2 volumes to have the same serial number. Tyagach valjevo prodazha v bishkeke.
These numbers are generated when a 'disk' or volume is formatted. Your hypothesis that the image caused this may be correct. The safest, easiest way to correct the condition would be to copy all your data on the volume that you want to change to an external drive, or another drive/volume, then format the drive/volume. A new, unique Volume Serial Number should be generated. Windows uses another ID, called the disk signature, to uniquely identify physical disk drives.
It is these signatures that cannot collide. Volume Serial Numbers do not have to be unique, though I believe software uses them for licensing purposes, so it is a good idea to keep the VSN the same when cloning or restoring from an image - there the assumption is made that the old drive will be discarded or reformatted and given a different VSN. I don't think having duplicate VSN has any harmful effects.

I don't think having duplicate VSN has any harmful effects.I think you must be right, because I looked through the old reports from my disk cataloger, and I've had several duplicate VSNs in the past, probably going back several years, and no problems that I'm aware of. So I guess I won't worry about this until the next time I format or image a drive.
