- What you are looking at is NOT the hard drive serial number.
- It is called the Volume Serial Number. It is generated at the time of creating and formatting the volume / partition.
- You can get it by using a command at command prompt :
C:> vol c:
ifC:
is the drive you want to retrieve the Volume Serial Number for. - All you can do is redirect the output of that command to a file :
C:> vol c: > myvol.txt
and it will be stored as a text file in yourC:
- I am attaching a screenshot with the highlights:
- The file was stored in the root of
C:
- This is what the
myvol.txt
file looks like in Notepad:

In the same vein as Moab's answer, but using PowerShell this time:
This command gets an instance of the
Win32_DiskDrive
WMI class and outputs the model of each disk drive in the computer and its corresponding serial number from that instance.This answer assumes PowerShell 3.0 or later. If running an older version, use
Get-WmiObject
in place of Get-CimInstance
.On Windows 8 and later, you can also use this command:

In a batch file one approach is:
- VOL command to produce the serial number as text along with text we don't want.
- FIND to trim it down to only the line with the serial number.
- FOR to grab the 5th token (a part between delimiters) on the line with the serial number.
- SET to assign to an environment variable
