Hard Drive Serial Number Registry Average ratng: 3,8/5 761 reviews

To find the hard drive serial number or the solid state drive serial number, enter the following command in the Command Prompt. Wmic diskdrive get serialnumber This is the serial number you can give you device’s manufacturer if you’re looking to redeem your warranty, or if you’re trying to repair/troubleshoot problems with it. Hi all, I am looking for the manufacturer's serial number from each of my HDDs as matched to a drive letter in Windows. That is I want to know the manufacturer (not Windows) serial number of drive E: for example.

I have been given a couple of SCSI hard drives though this question may apply to any disk. I deal with wiping disks all the time but I have found that the serial numbers on these drives in no way relates to the ones printed on them. I write wipe the drives 3 times but the serial numbers stay the same. I can only guess that the serial is in some hardware on the outside of the disk like a ROM chip and that this has been somehow changed. Does anyone know how to change the serial number of a hard drive, in Windows or Linux? I would be very grateful.

Also you do not need to change details on the client side of the computer since the client is in control of the client machine the client can spoof all information being sent to a server or a browser. Its pretty simple when you have the facts available.
please , please, please stop speaking on matters which you do not know about. If you do not know if the hardware serial number can be change just say you do not know do not make yourself look unintelligent on the matter by misstating facts. When you misstate facts you make yourself look like an idiot to the people who are familiar with the facts. Let me help you identify an example of device hardware manipulation: cable boxes dummies. And if you do not believe me then do a query in the justice system and read the thousands of police reports collect on criminals caught with modified cable boxes for quick cash. Also when you post comments instead of just letting your mouth run how about providing some references. You can change the GUID the Harddrive serial number and any other number on any machine. If you can forge currency anything else under the sun is game. 'Think before you act'
Thank you all for your input, to follow up on the repllies. I am sure that the S/N is stored in the firmware. As to why, we sell on hard drives that are wiped and people generally expect serial numbers to match. These particular ones came out of a server rack. Over 130 of them the serial number corresponded to the printed label, and 5 did not. We tried to see how the number had changed and the best suggestion that we came up with was that the firmware pcb may have been changed but this was unlikely. I think these guys may be on to something

Exactly what I was thinking Jim, Why would you want to change them?
You cannot change the hardware serial number since it is stated in the device firmware!
Why?????
All hard drives have a hard coded serial number for the same reason that network adapters have a hard coded MAC address. I can only imagine the disaster that would occur if you had 2 drives in a RAID Array with the same serial number. Probably would open a hole in the space/time continuum. Plus I think the RAID would end destroyed.
Bruce is spot on. The serial number is 'hardwired' into the controller. You can't overwrite it, and this is by design. As far as I know, the same is true for PATA & SATA as well. Serial numbers should not be confused with GUID, which is a unique number (but _not_ a serial no.) allocated to a drive during formatting.
The drive's (hardware) serial number is generally embedded into the firmware of the drive and is not something that can easily (if at all) be modified. Depending on the format of the drive, the OS may also embed its own serial number during a full format process on the drive. This can be changed at will but the process will depend on the format of the drive in question.

the hardware serial number value won't change even if you format your hard drive.

It states that the serial number is invalid. Is this an issue of activation or deactivation? From what I have read it does not appear to be so. I have the old hard drive connected to a new computer and can see the old registry etc - of course, I cannot run the installation from the old hard drive. Getting Serial Number of the Hard Drive Provided by the manufacturer through PHP: How can it be done? I want to store it in a file. OS: windows 2000,XP,ME,Vista. Yes, I want the serial number of the hard drive of the Server. Or can it be done through Adobe AIR? Or can it be done through a C program on Windows?

Adobe acrobat 60 professional free download for windows 7. I wanted to get the serial number assigned by Hard disk manufacturer.

The serial number is usually printed in the hard disk. Normally to get the serial number, I have to take out the hard disk.

Is it possible to know the hard drive serial number from command prompt or in other way.

Before posting this question I have gone through this question but I am getting the error in the following screenshot:

CrystalDiskInfo will display this information as well as all other S.M.A.R.T. data if the computer supports it. It's free, check it out.

If this is unable to pull the serial number then I would double check your BIOS settings and make sure that you have S.M.A.R.T. enabled.

If this is not an option I'd Google the computer model specs to see if there is a BIOS update that supports it, if not then the computer is too old and you have to open the machine.

The Win32_PhysicalMedia class suggest that

should do the trick.

However, the WMI struct holding the DiskDrive information

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.

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

Get-WmiObject Win32_PhysicalMedia Format-Table Tag, SerialNumber

If you can't just pull the drive out then try:

Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager

Expand the Disk Drive and right click the HDD you want. Select Properties > Details Tab. From the drop down select Hardware IDs. It should be listed in there.

EDIT: Since it was different in device manager you could try cmd command:

wmic diskdrive get serialnumber

See if this matches.

It availaible in WindowsXP, you need use command

wmic diskdrive get pnpdeviceid

you receive something like this
