Hi guys, I would like to ask on how to know the serial # of a USB device or a memory card? And how to change its serial #?

Thanks a lot.

Can you elaborate a bit more with what your problem is?

Do you mean USB enumeration?

Sorry, what I mean is how can I know the volume ID of a flashdrive or memory card? and how to change it?

Thanks.

Right Click the drive in My Computer/Windows Explorer and click Properties.

The box at the top is where the Volume ID (aka Disk Label) is displayed/changed.

You can also see the Volume label and the Volume Serial number in a Command Prompt, and change the label using the Label command.
Just do a DIR command on the drive, the first two lines will be:
Volume in drive H has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 70D1-A2CE
or
Volume in drive H is MUSIC
Volume Serial Number is 70D1-A2CE

Thanks jerry, how about changing the serial # at command prompt? is this possible? or any other software can do this?

The serial number is created when the partition is formated. Only way to change it with normal windows tools is to re-format.

A disk editor can find where it is stored on the drive and change it, and Sysinternals has a utility to do that. Check VolumeID at the bottom of this page:
Sysinternals File and Disk Utilities
