## Partition Serial No. FingerPrint Flag

When this FingerPrint option flag is set, the primary boot partition on the host machine is queried for its serial number. This value is stored in software, but can generally only be changed if the partition is reformatted. The format for the partition serial number is a segment:offset pair.

#### Typical Internal Values

- "C8D4:89C2"
- "BA10:90AF"

#### Operating System and Security

This flag will be able to successfully query the primary boot partition serial number on all Windows operating systems. No special user permissions are required.
