change disk serial number

VolumeID
While WinNT/2K and Windows 9x's built-in Label utility lets you change the labels of disk volumes, it does not provide any means for changing volume ids. This utiltity, VolumeID, allows you to change the ids of FAT and NTFS disks (floppies or hard drives) on both Windows NT/2K and Windows 9x.

Usage: volumeid <driveletter:> xxxx-xxxx

This is a command-line program that you must run from a command-prompt window.

Note that changes on NTFS volumes won't be visible until the next reboot. In addition, you should shut down any applications you have running before changing a volume id. NT may become confused and think that the media (disk) has changed after a FAT volume id has changed and pop up messages indicating that you should reinsert the original disk (!). It may then fail the disk requests of applications using those drives.

Hah, I have heard that there is new released software named NTFS to FAT32 Converter. It can easily convert NTFS to FAT32 without data losing.
I think this software can satisfy your request. And I have searched it, it has Trial Edition, you can experience its advantages in advance.
It worked better than the built-in disk management do, you need not format your hard drive and just cost you several minute.
