Hard Drive Serial Number Location

Serialnumber is where the serial number is stored when you scan. If there is a manual edit to the serialnumber, the original scan value is moved over to bserialnumber, and the edited number is stored in serialnumber. For reporting, you want to use serialnumber.

From the Windows NT-based (Windows XP and 7 specifically) command prompt, how can I get the serial number of a hard drive as a variable? The one I'm looking at is the serial number of the physical hard disk drive

vol C:

this will get the volume serial number given to it by windows.

wmic diskdrive get serialnumber

this gets the manufacturers serial number of the hard drive.

• What you are looking at is NOT the hard drive serial number.

• It is called the Volume Serial Number. It is generated at the time of creating and formatting the volume / partition.

• You can get it by using a command at command prompt : C:> vol c: if C: Utorrent faster download speed. is the drive you want to retrieve the Volume Serial Number for.

• All you can do is redirect the output of that command to a file : C:> vol c: > myvol.txt and it will be stored as a text file in your C:

• I am attaching a screenshot with the highlights:

• The file was stored in the root of C:

• This is what the myvol.txt file looks like in Notepad:

In the same vein as Moab's answer, but using PowerShell this time:

This command gets an instance of the Win32_DiskDrive WMI class and outputs the model of each disk drive in the computer and its corresponding serial number from that instance.

This answer assumes PowerShell 3.0 or later. If running an older version, use Get-WmiObject in place of Get-CimInstance.

On Windows 8 and later, you can also use this command:

In a batch file one approach is:

1. VOL command to produce the serial number as text along with text we don't want.
2. FIND to trim it down to only the line with the serial number.
3. FOR to grab the 5th token (a part between delimiters) on the line with the serial number.
4. SET to assign to an environment variable

The following returns the disk serial number. Should work with multiple drives, you'll just get multiple results. Just run it with shell_exec.

wmic.exe is located in your windows system32 folder. And wmic does exist on WinXP, Ive used it there myself.

My result on Vista:

I do not know if all harddrives provides the serial number to the OS.

It seems the wmic command is only available on the professional versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

PHP itself has no way of accessing the hardware like that.

You will have to either

• use a command of your operating system and call it with system() or exec()
• write an extension for PHP that will return you the information

If you are on Linux and have the necessary privileges and configuration you can use $r = system('hdparm -I /dev/hda'); (replace hda with your hd) to get the serial number of a given hard drive.

Patrick GlandienPatrick Glandien

that's on linux, not sure on windows though. You could execute that via 'system()'

Have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.hk.msdn.connection&tid=e41f0af2-2e76-4be6-9b7b-636e79ac0491&cat=zh_HK_3b03d742-993a-4f96-accd-1063c6bfd559&lang=zh&cr=HK&sloc=&p=1

Might be a way forward.

Also, when I ran a 'dir' on the command prompt, it shows:

Is that what you're looking for?

I can't tell you the answer, but I guess you'll have to look in the direction of extensions (maybe even writing one yourself). I doubt this is something PHP's core has.

Edit: I forgot about the raw power of 'exec' :-/

Run the following with shell_exec (test in command prompt if needed):

DISKDRIVE doesn't get the actual serial number for my drive that shows plugged in through an IDE channel. the above seemed to get the actual serial numbers for all of my drives. Tag will also return you what type of drive it is which may be helpful for identifying different drives.

Example output:

Do you want the hard drive from the server or a client? PHP runs on the server so getting it straight from the client doens't seem possible to me.

The manual suggest you can execute commands on you server:http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php

Unfortunately I don't enough Unix to get you hdd serials.

MrHusMrHus

You can use

or

Then you can echo it.

Based on Patrick Daryll Glandien's hint, you can execute following on *nix based machines. $hdserial= hdparm -I /dev/hda

hdparm -i /dev/sda returns lesser info. But as hdparm needs root access, it did not run with php for me.

The '2>&1' part is used from the suggestion here.

On *nix based machine you can also use ls /dev/disk/by-id/ because hdparm need root permission (see Patrick Daryll G. answer).

and you will get something like this
