Registry of Windows VISTA

How to get IDE device information from registry in Vista? In Windows XP I am able to retrieve that information from following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 1\Scsi Bus 0\Target Id 0\Logical Unit Id 0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 0\Scsi Bus 0\Target Id 0\Logical Unit Id 0 But this path does not exist in Windows Vista. So where should I look in registry now for getting the same information?

Use Windows Management Instrumentation.

I dont want to use WMI, I want to get these information from Registry only.

The registry was never the supported way of getting this information on Windows XP, so you've just been lucky so far. If Microsoft doesn't officially document something, they will not generally worry about changing it in a future release, unless doing so breaks a large number of products or some very important products. WMI is the supported interface.
