Hiya, I'm not sure if I should be posting this message here, but here we go: How can I extract the serial number of the HD from which my program is running? Some friends of mine have done it using Assembly, but I'd like to do it using C++. Thanks in advance! Edited by - HellRaider on 6/22/00 8:08:23 PM

Hi!

Here is the small piece of code to get the HDD s/n

DWORD dwSerial = 0;
GetVolumeInformation("C:\\",NULL,0,&dwSerial,NULL,NULL,NULL,0);

The HDD s/n is stored in dwSerial, of course


I hope it will help you

That works of course, if you want the sissy way out

A wise man once said "A person with half a clue is more dangerous than a person with or without one."

Then, by all means, please enlighten all of us at GameDev and show us the "manly" way to retrieve the hard drive serial number.

Well, it was a light hearted joke, but the manly way would be to go low level and do all thw work yourself.

Well, are you manly or not?!? Show us all how right now to prove your manhood...

Hmm...
I guess he probably doesn''t know how to but if he does, does it make the rest of us sissies?
