Paul,

I couldn't find any ref to hard disk serial numbers in the BIOS but
there was this info.

IDE Channel 0 Master -[ the DVDRW]
IDE Channel 0 Slave - [the DVD]

IDE Channel 1 Master - [S_ATA1-Hitachi etc]
IDE Channel 1 Slave - [S_ATA2-Hitachi etc]

(NB the S_ATA1 and S_ATA2 above)

also

x SATA Port 0 configure as IDE Sec. Master
SATA Port 1 configure as IDE Sec. Slave

Looking inside the PC case I can see that

SATA0 socket is connected to the top hard disk and
SATA1 socket is connected to the bottom hard disk

Does above tell you whether the top hard disk is the C: drive?

Cheers
