Geting info

I will be happy if someone will help me with this:

- how to get mainboard serial number
- how to get bioos serial number, bios name
- how to get hard drive serial number (GetVolumeInfor mation doesn't fit
here, because this gets partition serial number, given everytime after
formating it)

Are there some other unique thing in PC?

I don't want to get it from registry, it shopuld be (ASM, C or WinAPI)

I searched a littrle but with no interesting results

This couldn't have much less to do with the C programming language. I
think you want to ask in comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32.

Well, this is possible using standard C but improbable.

You can use what follows and hope for the best.
int main(void)
{
int x = 10;

printf("Conjure up mainboard serial number %u\n", ++x + ++x);

return 0;
}

I tried this program and it didn't work. Then I realized the
problem. This must be code for a big endian machine - the
expression for the value to be printed should be changed to

x++ + x++

to get it to work on a little endian machine.
