You'll need JNI for this, as Java doesn't provide access to this low-level information. Check out this.

Hard disk serial number

I do believe the code in that thread returns the partition serial number as assigned by Windows, not the physical hard drive serial number. This page mentions the difference:

This function returns the volume serial number that the operating system assigns when a hard disk is formatted. To programmatically obtain the hard disk's serial number that the manufacturer assigns, use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Win32_PhysicalMedia property SerialNumber.
