Converting HDD Serial # VB6 code into VB.NET code

Question

I\'ve got a cool piece of code taken from a VC++ project which gets complete information of the hard disk drive WITHOUT using WMI (since WMI has got its own problems) I ask

Answer 1

Try
Dim Searcher_P As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMedia")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In Searcher_P.Get()
If queryObj("SerialNumber").ToString.Trim = "Y2S0RKFE" Then
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
Return True
End If
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: Win32_PhysicalMedia " & ex.Message)
End Try

Try
Dim Searcher_L As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DeviceID = 'C:'")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In Searcher_L.Get()
If queryObj("VolumeSerialNumber").ToString.Trim = "226C1A0B" Then
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
Return True
End If
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: VolumeSerialNumber " & ex.Message)
Return False
End Try
