Hi all,

Is there anyway to programatically know the serial number of hard disk and
mother board. Any API etc?

Thanks,

Arsalan
 
I dont believe serial numbers are 'hard stored' on the hd or mobo, other
than on a label.
I'm assuming you dont mean Model No.

WMI is generally great for this kind of stuff.

Two different, and unrelated "numbers" exist.

1. A "hard" stored serial number in the drives firmware.
This cannot be changed.
2. A "changeable" volume label that is added/removed/modified
by the user.

Motherboards do not have serial numbers.
