I wanted to get the serial number assigned by Hard disk manufacturer. The serial number is usually printed in the hard disk. Normally to get the serial number, I have to take out the hard disk. Is it possible to know the hard drive serial number from command prompt or in other way. How to obtain the HDD manufacturer serial number which works for Extract physical serial number for IDE, RAID IDE, SCSI, RAID SCSI, SATA, RAID SATA, SATA2, RAID SATA2, SATA3, RAID SATA3 in Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, 2008, XP, Vista, 7 in DELPHI. In both 32 or 64 OS. Please provide me the source code in DELPHI.

I don't know about NT, but I know 95 has some problems with port calls in real mode programs. The virtual DOS driver seems to handle most common functions (video, serial, parallel, audio, keyboard, etc.) like a normal real mode DOS session would, but it confuses some code I have which uses less commonly used port interfaces, like the IDE or floppy controllers. An educated guess says that NT might be prone to the same problems.

I monitor the PCAD user group postings, and everyone who moves to NT has the same problem - the security dongle quits. WIN NT simply won't allow programs access to the hardware ports. Everyone has to upgrade to special drivers that have the necessary privilege level to do low-level stuff.

Then, you run into incompatible driver problems that crash your App when you try to do the simplest thing. And everyone complains that the Windows version doesn't have the same functionality and speed as the old DOS version.

More reasons to stay away from MicroSoft and keep on developing good DOS software. Best Regards, Mike CEO, Analog & Digital Design Automated Production Test Hosting Jonathan Ramsey's Pascal TCP/IP for DOS: http://www.csolve.net/~add/zips/tcp.htm.

Subject: Real serial number of IDE hard disk? Posted by: John Warren Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2011 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 Replies • posted by Ian Murphy on Thu, 28 Jul 2011.
