Re: Re: Can Perl read the hard drive registration #?

I am on Windows XP but I plan on running this on my server to people can run it web-based if possible? Or will it search my server rather than their hard drive?

I get an error while running your script though "'hdparam' is not recognized as an internal or external command...".

Thanks.

It'll show them the info about your servers Hard drive... And as far as I know, there's no way to show their hard drives info... But, just in case you want it for some other reason, try the vol command in WinXP. atm, I don't have time to work out a script to just get the serial number. But, the output is as follows (on my machine at least): `Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 7C9B-238A` [download] Just Another Perl Alchemist	[reply] [d/l]

`hdparm` is a Linux-only command, as I said in the original reply. Also you need root privileges to run it. As of Windows XP, you're out of luck with me... ;)	[reply] [d/l]
