Hi,

Thanks a million in advance.

Doesn't that just get the serialnr for the partition. Reformat and it's
changed.

Hi,

        Add a reference to system.management

        Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection
        Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher
        Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

        moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_LogicalDisk where MediaType = 12")

        moReturn = moSearch.Get

        For Each mo In moReturn
            Debug.WriteLine(mo("Name") & " " & mo("VolumeSerialNumber"))
        Next

Ken

I think this is a bad idea. Harddisks often crash and are replaced by new
disks. Can you afford a 24/7 support hotline?
