From the microsoft documentation:  This function returns the volume serial number that the operating  system assigns when a hard disk is formatted. To programmatically  obtain the hard disk's serial number that the manufacturer assigns,  use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Win32_PhysicalMedia  property SerialNumber.The WMI method is e.g. described here:http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t359670-wmi-help.htmlimport wmic = wmi.WMI()for pm in c.Win32_PhysicalMedia():     print pm.Tag, pm.SerialNumberor to retrieve the serial number for the installation drive:serial = c.Win32_PhysicalMedia(["SerialNumber"], Tag=r"\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0")[0].SerialNumber.strip()Regards,Dietmar
