GetDiskSerial.DLL

When it comes to serial numbers and especially hard disks, the acknowledgement is that the said number is unique. Users interested in creating a machine ID or encryption number simply need to know the aforementioned information to create a distinctive serial number.

GetDiskSerial DLL is a standard Windows DLL that can be used to read the serial number from the connected hard disks. It is important to note that the tool does not depend on other so-called support libraries, so it works as is and does not need prerequisites.

At the same time, the developer points out that the tool grabs the real serial number of the hard disk and not other information, such as partition ID or volume ID, for instance. Moreover, the utility works equally well with both standard computers and virtual machines. As it can easily be observed from the demo, the information is neatly displayed in a single window along with relevant details such as serial and model number, firmware rev, buffer size, cylinders, heads, sectors, so on and so forth.

Lastly, the utility supports many development languages like various versions of Delphi, C++ Builder, VBA, VIsual Basic, PowerBuilder, Visual Foxpro and Clarion, among others.
