How can I get the serial number of the hard disk of my PC

[Flamboyant]

I want to get the serial number of my PC hardisk. Is there any command that I can pass to the System Exec.vi that will give this info.

I rember this from some time ago. If you use 32 bits system. You will need to do a call to kernel32.dll. And the function is GetVolumeInformationA

On Win, this information should be stored in the registry. So you can read it using the build-in registry functions.

Whether the volume serial number will be unique ? My requirement is to have a unique identification, of the PC in which I am running my program

Note: its Volume Serial Number, not Hard Drive Serial Number. Obtaining real HDD Serial Number a bit more complicated...
