With the aide of WMIC...

:/>wmic logicaldisk where drivetype=3 get name, freespace, systemname,

filesystem, size, volumeserialnumber

you can change the drivetype value:
0 Unknown
1 No Root Directory
2 Removable Disk
3 Local Disk
4 Network Drive
5 Compact Disc
6 RAM Disk

You can lookup win32_logicaldisk to get the other properties and methods

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
