Harddisk manufacturing information library

[blueznl]

is there an update on this... or even better, has the source been released?

[Num3]

Here's a quote from the original library, maybe it helps...

The source code for the DLL mentioned is freeware and available on the site, maybe someone can built an internal library for Purebasic, would be nice.

There has also been an update on the 25th November 2003

Included in this archive is an example of how to use these functions in PureBasic. This library was created in 100% C, and originated from the DiskId32 utility by WinSim Inc. (http://www.winsim.com/diskid32/diskid32.html). This library is freeware! This file must be included unaltered if you plan to redistribute the library.

I second that, either an internal library for purebasic or a regular library (not dll) for linux and windows.

If your using the HD serial number with a protection scheme, its best NOT to use the external DLL as it can simply be replaced by something faking the serial number.

Find a way to incorperate the check into your own code if using it for protection.

Hi All,

I am posting on this topic because it is ALMOST what I need.

1) The links that Revolver for his library posted are no longer valid. Has/Can anyone mirror those if you downloaded them in 2003?

2) Revolver hasn't posted since 2003, so I don't even know if he is around anymore.

Here is what I am looking for:

This code works fine for finding HD Info/Serial number for Win98/Win2k/WinXP, however, you must be admin on Win2K/WinXP. I need this code for non-admins on Win2K/WinXP - does anyone have this?

More specifically, has anyone converted DISKID32 (see http://www.winsim.com/diskid32/diskid32.html) to PureBasic code?


Also, I am looking for this in PureBasic source code, no external DLLs as I need to compile it into my own EXE.

Anyone? Thanks in advance?

Here is the related link with similar code by Rings (again with the same issues regarding Admin on Win2K/WinXP):

(Works for me on Win XP Pro (I've got admin rights, but I don't see where it would stall, if you didn't)

Hope it helps,

blueb - thanks for taking the time to respond.

Unfortunately that code doesn't work on W2K/WXP unless you are an admin. I want to include code that can be used by non-admins as well to see this info.

Thanks again.
