[comp.lang.pascal] detecting hard drive serial numbers

J_SCHULL@acc.haverford.edu (Jonathan Schull) (11/20/90)

Richard Ward indicates that hard drive serial numbers are written...



>> in the boot block.  Read sector 0.  The serial number is a long

>> integer at offset $27.



Thanks!



Now, can someone tell me how to read an absolute address on a hard drive?

Better yet, how exactly to read that one in Turbo Pascal.
