PURPOSE OPERATION OPTIONS COMMAND LINES
Take user input and create "signatures" in the master boot record and the NTFS boot record of a hard drive. These signatures are up to three items which can be searched for later on.
They are:
The program takes command line items, and forms the julian date, the drive serial number, and
possibly the keyword and places it within the master boot record and NTFS boot record.
These items then show up on the drive when you do a DIR. The item returned, would be similar
to
Volume Serial Number is A097-1234
A sample DIR Volume Serial Number might look like:
Volume Serial Number is A097-1234
Where the A is for hex digit 10, which is year 2010
The 097 is the 97th day of the year, April 07, 2010
The 1234 is the arbitrary number assigned this disk.
This program merely sets the information in the boot records, you need an auxiliary program to read the master boot, and confirm the information is yours.
The occurance of the Keyword in the MBR can also confirm that it is "your" drive. The drive MUST be formatted to NTFS for this process to work. A non NFTS partition will cause the program to error off.

No options, but you need at least two additional items on the command line:
Item 1: drive number to operate on. Number must be between 0 and 9 (rquired) Item 2: an arbitraty 1-4 digit serial number to brand on the drive. (optional) Item 3: a KEYWORD to embed in the master boot record. If this item is not used, then a default of NORCROSS is used. (optional)
