hello!,

how can I read and assign the serial number of the hard drive or floppy to a
variable
in batch file?

thanks

Hello!, thanks

I can't use the wmic because the service is dissabled on my XP's network
(wmic logicaldisk where "deviceid='c:'" get volumeserialnumber)

I think that one easy way to know the serial number is doing someting like:

dir c: > file.txt
and now read the serial number from the file. But I don't know how can I do
this.
(read regular expression from file or from a pipe)

thanks
