I've been trying this code, but I wonder the output is not the serial number (SN). The result only contains the number without alphabet. I wonder, it must be the combination between number and alphabet.
Here is the code :
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class DiskUtils {
private DiskUtils() { }
public static String getSerialNumber(String drive) {
String result = "";
try {
File file = File.createTempFile("realhowto",".vbs");
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
String vbs = "Set objFSO = CreateObject(\"Scripting.FileSystemObject\")\n"
+"Set colDrives = objFSO.Drives\n"
+"Set objDrive = colDrives.item(\"" + drive + "\")\n"
+"Wscript.Echo objDrive.SerialNumber"; // see note
fw.write(vbs);
fw.close();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cscript //NoLogo " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input =
new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
result += line;
}
input.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result.trim();
}
public static void main(String[] args){
String sn = DiskUtils.getSerialNumber("C");
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog((java.awt.Component)
null, sn, "Serial Number of C:",
javax.swing.JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION);
}
}
Then, i also have tried to proof the real SN that may be true (contains number and alphabet).
Here is the tutorial that I got to check the real SN of hard-disk :
- Open up a command prompt window (Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt).
- Type in: vol.
- The Volume Serial Number is the Disk Serial Number.
The result between the code and the tutorial has really a big different.
Do you guys know, which one is true ? And how to proof that ?

You might want to try something more along the lines of this:
Then, once you have the result, you can parse it for the actual serial number. Hope this helps.
