>From www.toptenreviews.com: Change SID SID, Security Identifier, is a unique code that identifies a computer and its privileges in a network (a group of connected computers). Some disk imaging software allows you to change this code when you make an exact copy of a hard drive, since two hard drives with the same SID can cause errors in network communications.
