No matter learning how to do it in C or Java . I want to get the

way to find the source code of reading serial number or the HDD?

Use Runtime.exec(). Run "vol" on windows or "hdparm -i /dev/hda" as
root on Linux. Parse the output to get the serial number.

Hope that the system doesn't have SCSI disks, which don't have serial
numbers.

Google "HDD serial number" would have found this information for you.
