Thanks for your reply. The security sistem I'm talking about is somekind of shareware so I can give the user the chance to try the app for a short period of time. I've found an API function to acomplish with this, getdriveinfo() on Kernel32 library.
I'm a mixture of Albert Einstein and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The only trouble is that I got Einstein's body and Schwarzenegger's brain
