C# and Win32_PhysicalMedia SerialNumber from HDD Hey Guys, Gals. The following function I am quite stuck on. And hope you are able to help or provide s. I'll cover the following topics in the code samples below: Visual Studio 2008Visual Studio 2005, ManagementObjectCollection, ManagementObjectSearcher, NullReferenceException, and Vista. Many people looking for a schema to protect their work need to get some information that is hardware specific like the Mac Address or some hard drive serial.
In Windows 10, you can see aserial number for the hard disk installed in your PC using the command line. If you need to print it out or just view your hard drive details without restarting your PC or using a third party tool, it can be done with a single command. RECOMMENDED: A serial number is a unique number assigned to the hardware by its manufacturer. It is used for identification and inventory purposes.
A serial number allows the manufacturer to identify a product and get additional information about it. It may be required for replacement, updating firmware, or for checking compatibility with other hardware. Usually, the serial number is labeled on the drive's case.
However, it is required that you disassemble your PC to see it. Here is how to see it with built-in Windows 10 tools. To find Hard Disk Serial Number in Windows 10, do the following. Open an. Type or copy-paste the following command: wmic diskdrive get Name, Manufacturer, Model, InterfaceType, MediaType, SerialNumber.
In the output, you'll see the model, name, and serial number listed for the installed hard drives. The command above will give you information about the storage devices you have. This is usually not visible without third party tools.
Thanks guys, ill let you know how i get on. Not at my devloper machine right now. Will msg back soon:) thanks again, also, while we are on the subject of interrogating hard disk drive's etc, a piece of code i have adapted from net, and added to, allows me to identify how many partitions there are on the hard disk drive, i.e.
It will return 3. Whats the chances, of being able to return what time of partition it is, and how large they are for instance, such as; NTFS, 120gb, 60gb used, 60gb available.
I know its a long shot, but since you guys understand what i am talking about seem logical to ask here! Thank you:) Ian. Ok, I have tried it on XP machine, using Visual Studio 2005, it returns the following data, however I wouldn’t say that my serial number is: 4a35202020 Any suggestions?
Plus, surely other physical media such as USB attached hard disk drives would show serial numbers also? Model: ST3120026A Type: IDE Serial No.: 4a35202020 Model: NVIDIA MIRROR 465.75G Type: SCSI Serial No.: None Model: Freecom DataBar USB2.0 USB Device Type: USB Serial No.: None. I think volume serial number, keeps changing on format. You can try the following code to retrieve Model Number, Serial Number and Firmware Revision of a hard disk. The above link contains code in VB, you can convert this to a vb.net in Visual Studio environment itself and can use it in.net. I am able to see one mor elink which contains a COM DLL through which you can get this info, try this out and hope it helps!
Hey guys, do you think S.M.A.R.T is the way forward: This utility provides exactly what I am trying to achieve. However, does anyone know how to implement C# and SMART?
I have also come across another handy utility on msdn that auto produces WMI code So that should help with the Partition question i had early. I think I need to move away from Win32PhysicalMedia, and more to SMART? Any suggestions?
