AW: HDD serial number

NTDEV
1

Hello,

under NTFS and user mode it works with NtFsControlFile and the control
command FSCTL_GET_NTFS_VOLUME_DATA
the output structure is typedef struct {

LARGE_INTEGER VolumeSerialNumber;
LARGE_INTEGER NumberSectors;
LARGE_INTEGER TotalClusters;
LARGE_INTEGER FreeClusters;
LARGE_INTEGER TotalReserved;
DWORD BytesPerSector;
DWORD BytesPerCluster;
DWORD BytesPerFileRecordSegment;
DWORD ClustersPerFileRecordSegment;
LARGE_INTEGER MftValidDataLength;
LARGE_INTEGER MftStartLcn;
LARGE_INTEGER Mft2StartLcn;
LARGE_INTEGER MftZoneStart;
LARGE_INTEGER MftZoneEnd;

} NTFS_VOLUME_DATA_BUFFER, *PNTFS_VOLUME_DATA_BUFFER;

you can find this in <winioctl.h>

It depends on what you mean by the “HDD serial number”. If you want the disk
volume serial number see the other response. If you want the NT disk serial
number read the MBR. If you want the SCSI vital product data serial number
then you have to build and send an SRB INQUIRY for the correct mode page.
(EVPD) How you do that depends on where you are doing it from.

Try IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA - this will work for ATA too.
