WMI might be able to get the info for you, I'm not sure on how specificly to do so, but search Google for "WMI VB.Net sample" and see what you can find.

Hi ThatRickGuy...

I've found several samples using WMI Code but nothing about
get info of PenDrives (only for parts of the PC...hard disk,memory, and other internal devices)

If I connect an external device in my PC there would be a way to get info about it...

I appreciate your help any way

Thanks

If the pen drive is showing up as a hard drive, you may be able to use WMI to look at it in the same way and pull the serial number that way.

If that doesn't work, my next guess is that you'll have to pull information from the USB system. Unfortunately I have never had a chance to do so. You might want to see if anything turns up on Google for "WMI USB".
