Hm, looking at your first set of code, I think you have retrieved (maybe?) the hard drive model. The serial # comes from Win32_PhysicalMedia.

Then, add code:
Then, call the hard disk ID from where you need it

In case you want to use it for copy protection and you need it to return always the same serial on one computer (of course as far as first hdd or ssd is not changed) I would recommend code below. For ManagementClass you need to add reference to System.Management. P.S. Without 'InterfaceType' and 'DeviceID' check that method can return serial of random disk or serial of USB flash drive which connected to pc right now.
