WMI - Win32_PhysicalMedia & Win32_DiskDrive

I would like to get the physical (not volume) serial number of a hard drive.
I know I have to use WMI but I'm new at this and the example I've used from
microsoft doesn't compile. Is there someone that has a working example or
component?

Thanks

To compile MS WMI samples you will need to get bccSDK.

Go here to download it:

http://bccsdk.sf.net

I just tested it the other day and it was working fine.
