Dec 10, 2009 - The problem is that this is not the serial number printed on the hard drive. How to read the manufacturer's serial number from a Hard Drive with Delphi. You can find full history on the application and it's change-log here:.

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. Quote Scott Earnest wrote: > Kim Robert Blix wrote: > > Scott Earnest said: > > [SNIPP] > > Not really that related, but I just thought of something.

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. Lagu ukays bila diri disayangi.

Getting Serial Number of the Hard Drive Provided by the manufacturer through PHP: How can it be done? I want to store it in a file. OS: windows 2000,XP,ME,Vista.

Yes, I want the serial number of the hard drive of the Server. Or can it be done through Adobe AIR? Or can it be done through a C program on Windows? C: Documents and Settings Administrator>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is BC16-5D5F Is this number: BC16-5d5f unique for a hard drive?

How is it different from the manufacturer given serial number? Wmic DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber Displays only the following text on my Vista Machine: SerialNumber On my XP machine, the command is unrecognized. The following returns the disk serial number. Should work with multiple drives, you'll just get multiple results. Just run it with. Wmic DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber wmic.exe is located in your windows system32 folder. And wmic does exist on WinXP, Ive used it there myself.

My result on Vista: C: Windows System32>wmic DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber SerialNumber 354c4*snip* I do not know if all harddrives provides the serial number to the OS. It seems the wmic command is only available on the professional versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Run the following with (test in command prompt if needed): wmic path win32_physicalmedia get Tag,SerialNumber DISKDRIVE doesn't get the actual serial number for my drive that shows plugged in through an IDE channel. The above seemed to get the actual serial numbers for all of my drives. Tag will also return you what type of drive it is which may be helpful for identifying different drives. Example output: SerialNumber Tag WD-WX55D33JQNZ4.
