Hi! All, can anyone tell me how to get a Volume Serial number On the Drives in a Java Application, actually i m Looking for a parallel method to getVolumeInformation(driveLabel) which is in VB . Thanks in advance. --Cameron
Yeah but VB only runs on Microsoft operating systems, so it is easy to know how the volumes are cataloged. Writing such a method that would work on MS and on Linux and on a Mac, etc. would be quite amazing. I would guess you would need to write or find some custom code.

thanx aleksey presently i m managing in the issue uing JNI only . So i was trying to figure out if some direct support is there .
cindy , ur argumemnt is making a sense ok Vb is for microsoft platforms but we know that all platforms have their versions of JVM which are tailored to work on and in turn interact with that os. so i was thinking ...that way .. thanx and regards .. --cameron
I am curious what kind of application you are developing that requires knowledge of the volume serial number. I think of Java as working at such a high level of abstraction that it would never care about volume serial numbers. It almost sounds like you are writing a utility that is by it's nature operating system specific and not a good candidate for a Java project.
