Is there any way to get the Harddisk serial number with CB3 + Windows?
HAVING TRIED TO MAKE CODE SNIPPETTS BELOW WORK, (WITH NO SUCCESS) BE
PREPARED FOR SOME EXTRA EFFORT BEFORE YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL HERE...
********************************************
This is an example of API GetVolumeInformation.
const int BUFFER_SIZE=100;
char disk[]="C";
char DiskName[BUFFER_SIZE];
unsigned logn DiskSerNum;
GetVolumeInformation((disk
,DiskName ,BUFFER_SIZE ,&DiskSerNum ,NULL ,NULL ,NULL ,NULL);
Hope that helps,
Steven Carlson

look in the on-line help === >GetVolumeInformation
The GetVolumeInformation function returns information about a file system
and volume whose root directory is specified.
BOOL GetVolumeInformation(LPCTSTR lpRootPathName, // address of root directory of the file system
LPTSTR lpVolumeNameBuffer, // address of name of the volume
DWORD nVolumeNameSize, // length of lpVolumeNameBuffer
LPDWORD lpVolumeSerialNumber, // address of volume serial number
LPDWORD lpMaximumComponentLength, // address of system's maximum
filename length
LPDWORD lpFileSystemFlags, // address of file system flags
LPTSTR lpFileSystemNameBuffer, // address of name of file system
DWORD nFileSystemNameSize // length of lpFileSystemNameBuffer);

In Windows you should use the API GetVolumeInformation function. For
example:
const int BUFFER_SIZE=100;
char disk[]="C";
char DiskName[BUFFER_SIZE];
unsigned long DiskSerNum;
GetVolumeInformation((disk ,DiskName , BUFFER_SIZE ,&DiskSerNum ,NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL);
