Could you help me please to find out how to read the harddisk serial
number in java ?

If you can't find it predone, I would be willing to research and write
the code for you for a fee. The trick is to do it in C and provide JNI
glue. I did it years ago in DOS using assembler. However, over the
years security closes holes. It may not be possible to do it anymore
unless the OS has an API for it. Getting the volser should be easier
-- the name you assign yourself to the volume.

I presume you are doing this for some sort of copy protection scheme.
You might be interested in http://mindprod.com/products1.html#PENTIUM
which will give you the Pentium CPU serial number.
