HDD Serial Number

[Baconbutty]

Screwdriver - open case - remove housing - Eyes

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

That is very hard to write in C# though :)

Screwdriver screw = new ScrewDriver();
screw.OpenCase();
screw.RemoveHousing();
screw.Dispose(); // Be sure that always dispose your ScrewDriver.
Eye eye = God.GiveMeSomeEyePlease(); // Be carefull not implementing God class itself!
eye.SuspendLayout();
eye.SeeMyHDDSerialNumber();
eye.isMine = true;
// No necessary to dispose Eye.

While (true) { Human.isLearnable = true; }

Just kidding ;P There's a DLL[^] but why don't you want to use WMI?

While (true) { Human.isLearnable = true; }

I want to bang in a nail but I dont want to use a hammer, the end of a pair of pliers or even the sole of my shoe. Can anyone help me?

So the analogy is bust that case open to check the Serial number?

You mean it's not derived from EyeDisposable? :)

Did you know the volume serial number changes every time you reformat the drive?
