How to get the Hard Drive serial number

The Win32_PhysicalMedia class suggest that

wmic path win32_physicalmedia get SerialNumber

should do the trick.

However, the WMI struct holding the DiskDrive information

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394132%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

specifically mentions that

SerialNumber: Number allocated by the manufacturer to identify the physical media.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This property is not available.

I know of no other way to obtain it, sorry.

Cheers,

Press Windows Key + R

type

msinfo32.exe

It will show details of almost everything in the system. Locate to storage and find the details.

Use below powershell script to get the serial number of hard disk.
