Hi,

I want to retrieve the hard disk information such as
1) size
2) Product id
3) vendor id
4) serial number
5) firmware version
6) model number

I am able to retrieve the serial number ,firmware version and model number

But the first 3 I am not able to retrieve . I want to know whether these information are available for a harddisk , if then how to retrive using c++

If some one knows please help me

Thanks in advance

I need to know which version of Windows you are using in order to give you the location to find this information.

I want my application to work on windows 2000 , given below is what I am doing .Iam not getting the vendorID .I also want whether it is slave/master.
I don't know how to retrieve this info .




int done = FALSE;
int drive = 0;

// for (drive = 0; drive < MAX_IDE_DRIVES; drive++)
// {
HANDLE hPhysicalDriveIOCTL = 0;

// Try to get a handle to PhysicalDrive IOCTL, report failure
// and exit if can't.
char driveName [256];

sprintf (driveName, "\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive%d", drive);

// Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP - admin rights not required
hPhysicalDriveIOCTL = CreateFile (driveName, 0,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
// if (hPhysicalDriveIOCTL == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
// printf ("Unable to open physical drive %d, error code: 0x%lX\n",
// drive, GetLastError ());

if (hPhysicalDriveIOCTL != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{

DWORD cbBytesReturned = 0;


char buffer [1000];

char serialNumber [1000];

strcpy (serialNumber,

// (but there can be leading spaces on IBM drives)

}
if(buffer [descrip -> ProductIdOffset])
{

}


// & buffer [descrip -> ProductRevisionOffset],

}

char errcod[4];
