Serial numbers.

[Daniel Visan]

Is it possible to find out the serial numbers of motherboard, graphic device, hard disk, RAM, and the others?

Yeah, unscrew them, take them out and hold them under a light. Seriously, I don't think that info is electronically coded to the peripherals. Imagine how much more video cards would cost to make if they were also unique. The only peripheral I know like that is a Network card, that's why they used to be used to build GUID's.

Hard disks have a serial number, but I don't know any WinAPI call to read it. The ATA command IDENTIFY DEVICE or SCSI INQUIRY command will return the serial number information (among other info).

I know i make a fool of myself but i never heard of ATA:confused:

ATA = AT Attachment is the official name of the interface commonly called "IDE". The ATA standards are developed by NCITS T13
