On older macs (at least.. don't know on the newer ones) the serial
number was recorded somewhere (boot partition probably) on the drive.
If you re-partitioned it or exchanged it for a new one the serial
number is gone. There was no hardware serial number.
Another reason why using this number is a bad idea.

My computer has no idea what it's serial number is, and hasn't since
OS9's Apple Info started displaying that information.
This makes life difficult because the serial number printed on the
bottom of the computer rubs off, but that's another rant...
