Getting Low Level Hard Drive Information

[Bitaoo]

Hello,

I have a question and hope you can help me. I want
know how I can get the Low Level Hard Drive Information?

Low Level Hard Drive Information: This refers to the
master hard drive serial number in hardware. Note that
this is not the drive serial number which can be set
from software. The hardware level serial number can
only be set during the manufacturing process.

Thanks,

Function DriveSerialNumber(drvPath)
Dim fs, d
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set d = fs.GetDrive(fs.GetDriveName(drvPath))
DriveSerialNumber = d.SerialNumber
End Function

Thanks Ronald for your response, but it doesn't get the
MASTER hard drive serial number.

The file system object exposes a bunch of interesting things such as a drives collection, subfolder collections and files collections (eg the information available in VB with the Drives, Files and Dir listbox controls).

To access it, set a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll) and then hit F2 to use the Object Browser.

RDodge, nice, compact code example!

Good Luck!

Have a great day!

There may be an API that returns the information you are seeking. Try posting your question on the Visual Basic(Microsoft) Win32API Forum forum711.
