Hi, I want to get manufacturer's harddisk serial number (note: not' volume serial number'), because with formating it doesn't change. I have searched the newsgroup archives at: codenewsfast.com and groups.google.com; but to no avail.

I am not looking for the use of GetVolumeInformation for getting the 'hard disk serial number', because what this function actually gets is the volume serial number, not the manufacturer's hard disk serial number. The volume serial no. Is assigned and changed during the formatting of the partition. A proper/working code (in Delphi 5) will be highly appreciated. The code should work with Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/7 for both x32 and x64 bit platforms. Many thanks in advance!

Serial number information To better understand each position in the 17-digital serial number, the chart below lists the position number, use of that position and what the position means, specific to large tractors (7R, 8R/8RT Series and 9030 Series Tractors). Locate your John Deere Product Identification Number. Finding your model number and serial number is as easy as locating the identification tag on your machine. As seen in the example, the model number will be displayed below the MODEL heading (Example: Z235), and the serial number will be underlined on the top-right corner of the tag (Example.
