I need to ctach a serial number of HDD

NTFSD
1

Hello everybody…
Thanks for you attention…

I need to catch a real serial number of HDD, not the serial that change with format…
I use IOCTL_SCSI_GET_INQUIRY_DATA , but just get FirmwareRevision and ModelNumber.

if some body know how can I catch this serial number , IOCTL or something please talk me…

Now I catch a serial but doing a direct write /read to a IDE controller, this maybe have a problem with other drivers,

I need to know how can I lock HDD for exclusive use, of my driver and SYSTEM of course…
I try with CreteFile(…,0) I mean not SHARED, i think that is correct, but I don’t know if this resolve my problems…

I need to catch serial to SCSI drivers too

tanks and regards…

Try page 80.

struct _CDB6INQUIRY {
UCHAR OperationCode; <- SCSIOP_INQUIRY
UCHAR Reserved1 : 5;
UCHAR LogicalUnitNumber : 3;
UCHAR PageCode; <- 0x80
UCHAR IReserved;
UCHAR AllocationLength; <- sizeof(SERIALNUMBER)
UCHAR Control;
} CDB6INQUIRY, *PCDB6INQUIRY;

The returned buffer ought to something like this:

typedef struct {

UCHAR junk[4];
CHAR SerialNumber[128];

} SERIALNUMBER, *PSERIALNUMBER;

In the code that used this I actually over-allocated the buffer for the
serial number by one CHAR so I could guarantee a null terminated serial
number string (SCSI says ascii data but doesn’t say null terminated.)

Of course this is for SCSI devices. I have no idea what one has to do
for IDE.

Use the SMART family of IOCTLs, they will return the whole IDE IDENTIFY data for you.
I had some source of this.

Now I catch a serial but doing a direct write /read to a IDE controller, this maybe have a
problem with other drivers,

Surely, under heavy load your IDE accesses will intersect with the IDE driver’s one, and you will have a problem.

There is no such notion of “locking the HDD” at this level. NT does not support one driver touching the hardware registers of the
hardware controller by another driver.

I need to catch serial to SCSI drivers too

Try using SCSI mode pages - IOCTL_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH, then MODE SENSE.
I hope one of them will contain the serial number.
