Get (MAC address or Hard Disk serial number) without WMI

how can i get "MAC address" or "Hard Disk serial number" without WMI(System.Management reference)

I need this because WMI is not standart for all windows versions (Ex:95-98-NT does not contain WMI), though WMI can be installed on these versions, i dont want to be dependent on that.
