What thatraja didn't mention, and probably doesn't know about, is that these methods don't work for all hard drives. Overall, there are I think 4 different methods for retrieving the hard drive serial number, so long as they are not in a RAID configuration. Which of the methods works depends on the drive. There is no way to tell ahead of time which will work and which don't.

You'd have to write code to try all 4 methods, then evaluate the return data for your actual value. No, I don't have example code. I prefer (and use) the following function: Public Function GetDriveSerialNumber() As String Dim DriveSerial As Integer ' Create a FileSystemObject object Dim fso As Object = CreateObject( ' Scripting.FileSystemObject') Dim Drv As Object = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(Application.StartupPath)) With Drv If.IsReady Then DriveSerial =.SerialNumber Else ' 'Drive Not Ready!' DriveSerial = -1 End If End With Return DriveSerial.ToString( ' X2') End Function Perhaps the Thread-Starter likes it too. When answering a question please: • Read the question carefully.
