Description

Returns the decimal serial number used to uniquely identify a disk volume.

Syntax

object.SerialNumber

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks

You can use the SerialNumber property to ensure that the correct disk is inserted in a drive with removable media.

The following code illustrates the use of the SerialNumber property:

function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)
{
  var fso, d, s, t;
  fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
  d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(drvpath)));
  switch (d.DriveType)
  {
    case 0: t = "Unknown"; break;
    case 1: t = "Removable"; break;
    case 2: t = "Fixed"; break;
    case 3: t = "Network"; break;
    case 4: t = "CD-ROM"; break;
    case 5: t = "RAM Disk"; break;
  }	
  s = "Drive " + d.DriveLetter + ": - " + t;
  s += "<br>" + "SN: " + d.SerialNumber;
  return(s);
}
