>Control Panel/Device manager, expand 'disk drives' then right click on the hdd in question. select properties then click the 'details' tab. from the drop down box select 'hardware ids' and bingo.....info should include brand name manufacturer,interface type,model no,serial etc, all you should need!!

Hardware IDs doesn't have any like that here. In fact, nothing mentioned in here shows up in there. That is why I asked. Because, I was sure I saw that before and thought it might have been elsewhere.

I also created another thread in .NET about two methods which returns the serial number. Each of them returns a different number. So, that is why I wanted to verify manually in Windows to see which one would be mostly the good one. The thread is in the .NET forum, if you wish to take a look at it.
