hard disk serial number

hello everyone!!

i am trying to retrive the manufacturer's serial number while using windows98. how can i do this?? i dont need to access the hard disk's volume number. i can get the manufacturer's serial number of the hard disk while using windowsXP. so, what should i do in order to get the hard disk's serial number while using windows9x? thanks in advance...

I found a link with C# code that can do exactly this:

If you're looking for C/C++, not sure. Maybe something in it will still be helpful.

It seems, from the article, you'll need to use WMI for this. Maybe that's at least a pointer in the right general direction.
