Just a quick question.. How does MS-DOS determine the serial number when
you format a disk??

My car was leaking a bit of oil out the side of one of the sideplates, so
rather that farting around to get a new gasket, i just got the trusty
'silastic gasket goo' and squirted a bit along the edge... well it works,
so i'm not complaining too loud :)
