   This might backfire.   
      
   Widows 7, and probably W8, looked at the disk identifier to know Windows   
   was legal and not pirated over to another computer.   
      
      
   Telcontar:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda   
   Disk /dev/sda: 1.82 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors   
   Disk model: ST2000DM001-1CH1   
   Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes   
   Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes   
   I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes   
   Disklabel type: gpt   
   Disk identifier: 9020FF2C-... <====================   
   ...   
      
   The disk identifier is not the blkid, but I'd guess it will also look at it.
