is it possible to change the embedded serial number of an sd (secure
digital) memory card?
if so .... how?

What reason would anyone have for doing so? I cannot imagine any
application caring what the serial number is.
 
i have loaded a region from my 'blue nav' mapping program onto an sd card
for my magellan meridian gps.
as part of the copy protection system magellan requires that you go thru a
reauthorization process to copy this region onto a different card.
my original sd card has failed for some reason and i cannot get it to
reformat... it fails about 10% of way thru format and i can't read it at
all.
when i tried to install the region onto a new sd card the gps software
informs me that the serial number of the card in the original install now
does not matcg the new card and will not allow me to proceed
if i can rename the serial number of the new card to the old number it will
save me the hassles of going thru the normal long-winded reauthorization
procedure.
i also have a number of other regions on the original card (that i backed up
onto my hdd) to copy back to the card in case i should have any problems.
i really don't want to have to go thru uploading all these regions again as
it is very time consuming if you have to upload to the gps receiver rather
than the sd programer.
