As a direct example, vim -b. It won't modify the file size unless you specify to change the file size. Get in, find the MAC, use R to modify the bytes you don't like. With the GUID, the idea isn't to remove it as much as either put in bogus data, or a mess of zeros, or something like that -- overwriting the bytes directly. Unless MS has changed their file formats, they didn't bother with a checksum over this data. -- "Soldiers quartered in a populous town will always occasion two mobs where they prevent one.
