If it's of any help, you can use
BOOL GetVolumeInformation(
LPCTSTR lpRootPathName, // root directory
LPTSTR lpVolumeNameBuffer, // volume name buffer
DWORD nVolumeNameSize, // length of name buffer
LPDWORD lpVolumeSerialNumber, // volume serial number
LPDWORD lpMaximumComponentLength, // maximum file name length
LPDWORD lpFileSystemFlags, // file system options
LPTSTR lpFileSystemNameBuffer, // file system name buffer
DWORD nFileSystemNameSize // length of file system name buffer
);
To get the volume serial number.
However, please note that the volume serial number will change if the drive is formatted.

This forum is for general IDE issues for VC programming.
That said, I don't think there's a Win32 API for that kind of thing. This is an OEM- specific question.
Try starting with the hardware manufacturer tech support (their diagnostic tools often make such queries, but it's usually in assembly language). Yon can also search the web.
