Hi, I want to get manufacturer's harddisk serial number (note: not' volume serial number'), because with formating it doesn't change. I have searched the newsgroup archives at: codenewsfast.com and groups.google.com; but to no avail.
I am not looking for the use of GetVolumeInformation for getting the 'hard disk serial number', because what this function actually gets is the volume serial number, not the manufacturer's hard disk serial number. The volume serial no. Is assigned and changed during the formatting of the partition. A proper/working code (in Delphi 5) will be highly appreciated. The code should work with Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/7 for both x32 and x64 bit platforms.
Many thanks in advance! Best regards, John. On Wed, 27 Jul 2011 04:58:47 -0700, John Warren wrote: >Hi, > >I want to get manufacturer's harddisk serial number (note: not' volume serial number'), because with formating it doesn't change.

Hi, I use the code. GetVolumeInformation('c: ', Buffer, SizeOf(Buffer), SerialNum, a, b, nil, 0). To get the serial number of the C hard drive and use SerialNum as a unique number for each computer it is run on. My question is; some people have been saying that after they reformat their hard drive they get a different number. Is that possible? Is the serial number read by this code a hardware number or is it somehow generated by Windows such that the hard drive will have a different serial number when reformatted?
