Getting hard drive serial number from USB devices

Thanks for the reply!

   Unfortunately, that only gives the serial number of the USB 
controller, not the hard drive itself. This is a problem because I use 
USB drives with removable disk carriers. If I rely on the USB/IDE ASIC's 
serial number my program would not be able to tell the difference 
between different hard drives connected through the common carrier.
