    Okay.. as I can recall, long ago I asked the question once. Does anyone have any idea:

    How to get scsi hard disk/mainboard/processor/ serial number using C?

    The Registry contains information about your disk configuration in the subkeys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DeviceMap\AtDisk and Scsi.
    Or GetVolumeInformation()

    May need assembly to get the other info - and even then, you may need the CPU to be in privileged mode in order to execute the necessary instructions to get the information you want.

    GetVolumeInformation() I believe is the better of those two approaches. I have used it before and it seems to be a good way.
