Very nice. Does it work on all versions of Windows? I know that there can be problems on a clean install of Windows 98 and ME I beleive because MS mistakenly left out a file. A while back I purchased a dll for this that guaranteed it would return the HD serial but it was far from reliable. It would only work on Vista if you were logged on as an admin.

unfortunately, the API command (DeviceIoControl_) in this dll is not available on win 98 and ME, but it should work ok on vista (but i think the calling program require admin) although this is untested so any feedback would be nice

heres the official word from MS

i like the mod but still the same problem with yours it only pics up C drive aka drive letter 3
if i put D in it knows its drive but still shows C: Data

i tested this on 3 systems all with multiple harddrives and all worked as expected, whats your setup and what code you using

to raw test this DLL, try this standalone code:

-- to test dll reliability based on a number paramater for the DLL (as intended)
-- 0, "1",2, etc for Hard Drives(not partitions of 1 or more drives)

for n=0,10 do 
-- 0 for first HD, 1 for next HD(not a partition) in PC..if exists , etc 
local tHD = {};  
tHD.VendorModel = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\HDInfo.dll", "GetHDDVendorModel", n, 2, 1);
tHD.HardwareSerial = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\HDInfo.dll", "GetHDDHardwareSerial", n, 2, 1);
tHD.FirmwareVersion = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\HDInfo.dll", "GetHDDFirmwareVersion", n, 2, 1);
local stxt;
	if String.Length(tHD.HardwareSerial) < 2 then --errors
	stxt = "Not Found\\Dll Error Returns\r\n\r\nHD-VendorModel:  "..tHD.VendorModel.."\r\nHD-HardwareSerial:  "..tHD.HardwareSerial.."\r\n\r\nHD-FirmwareVersion:  "..tHD.FirmwareVersion;
	else
	stxt = "Raw Results for Target:  "..n.."\r\n\r\nHD-VendorModel:  "..tHD.VendorModel.."\r\nHD-HardwareSerial:  "..tHD.HardwareSerial.."\r\n\r\nHD-FirmwareVersion:  "..tHD.FirmwareVersion;
	end
Dialog.Message("Physical Disk no: "..n, stxt);
end

i tested this on 3 systems all with multiple harddrives and all worked as expected, whats your setup and what code you using

i am using the example and it just wont pick up the drive
the drive is a 500 Sammson drive keeps saying its my c drive
i have tryed adding web exe so it is able to find the apps main
file and get that drives letter but the code states 3 i have changes this to 4
as thats the d drive and it don't work.

you have 4 drive or is it 5 on the demo and i have changed C: to D: still
no luck

i might be just editing something whats not needed are you able to make another demo ?

i did change to from a dialog to a lable but thats is.

[rexzooly]

OK with that code i am now able to fine my drive i am unable
to get it to work with just adding a letter like D:\

but i guess i have to work some of this out of somehow lol
thanks Eagle and RizlaUK
