I am not going to read this whole thread again to see what has been said and
not said but if the question is that the OP wants manufacturers serial
numbers so he can distinguish between drives in his system, the scripts
provided are not doing that. As shown, they are the Volume Serial Numbers
which are generated when the drive is initialized and formatted and can be
confusing if he's swapping drives around or reinitializing them during all
this.

As I suggested a few days ago, free programs are available that will tell
you that answer, like Speccy from Piriform. Free, quick, done.

But if he really wants the Volume Serial number - here's a simpler way:

Open a command prompt and type vol C: and hit enter and it will show the
volume name if it has one and the volume serial number.

Repeat the command vol X: for each drive letter with X being the next
drive letter you want to find.

Can't believe all the paths this thread has taken from Linux to VB scripts
just to identify a hard drive
