There's also a utility here from Microsoft Technet called VolumeID

Unless you're changing volume labels, you really have to restart your computer to see the changes.

my problem is to do it without restart ?

Note that changes on NTFS volumes won't be visible until the next reboot. In addition, you should shut down any applications you have running before changing a volume id. NT may become confused and think that the media (disk) has changed after a FAT volume id has changed and pop up messages indicating that you should reinsert the original disk (!). It may then fail the disk requests of applications using those drives.

I don't think it's possible. If it's at the kernel level, no chance. Unless you find a way to stop / start NTFS / disk services or maybe things like unmounting HDD or play with the Hot swap features with SATA disks...

Maybe you should take a look to virtual machines with virtual drives (.vhd....) or run Linux as primary OS.

PS: I don't have a single idea how HDD ID work, don't have the time to check, juste tried to give some (tracks ?)
