To get the serial number of the hard disk, we need to use some C# classes.
ManagementObjectSearcher Class is the class which initializes the new instance of ManagementObjectSearcher class. Basically, it is used to retrieve the management system of the system.

Let's Start.
Step 1: Creat a Project =>Right click on references, then Add System.Management, System.Management.Instrument.
Add a button and three labels to it.

Step 2 : Add the Namespaces to the project.
C# Code
C# Code
- using System.Management;
- using System.IO;
- using System.Collections;
- ArrayList hardDriveDetails = new ArrayList();
- private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
- {
- ManagementObjectSearcher moSearcher = new
- ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive");
- foreach (ManagementObject wmi_HD in moSearcher.Get())
- {
- HardDrive hd = new HardDrive(); // User Defined Class
- hd.Model = wmi_HD["Model"].ToString(); //Model Number
- hd.Type = wmi_HD["InterfaceType"].ToString(); //Interface Type
- hd.SerialNo= wmi_HD["SerialNumber"].ToString(); Serial Number
- hardDriveDetails.Add(hd);
- label1.Text ="Model : "+ hd.Model ;
- label2.Text = " Type : " + hd.Type;
- label3.Text = " Serial Number : " + hd.SerialNo;
- }
- }

To obtain the correct disk name and serial number, the best approach is to use CrystalDiskInfo(https://github.com/hiyohiyo/CrystalDiskInfo) . However, CrystalDiskInfois a Windows software written in C++. As a result, it cannot be directly used in one's own project. Therefore, I wrapped CrystalDiskInfo into a DLL. Now, other languages or Windows applications can also accurately distinguish the disk serial number with the help of CrystalDiskInfo. I have open-sourced this project on GitHub. If you are interested in it, you can check it out and use it.https://github.com/ftyszyx/CrystalDiskInfo_dll_lib

Apurba Ranjan , thanks for sharing this topic, i have a small problem with your code, if the computer has more than one hard disk, the array hardDriveDetails will have several items, how will i identify the current hard disk where the exe is running from?
