spoof windows hardware id?

[darkxfaded]

I recently got banned with hwid i changed my wan ip and nic cards macs i can play on my second computer fine but on the one i got banned on i cannot, ive looked on google but there seems to be no tutorials on how to change the windows os hardware id not the serial #, the only ways seems to be reformatting but you can just easily be banned again so thats not worth it. If anyone knows how to change the windows os hardware id it would be much appreciated. I can play on linux fine on the computer thats hwid banned so its just crappy windows hwid.

Does the game that you play have a CD key required? Also, were you banned by Punkbuster? Giving a link to describe the ban would help.
