Thanks to all for your responses.
I tried both methods from each Tim. :)

Ahh, now I understand where I messed up, your code example enlightened
me.

This example also worked quite well. In addition to that there's lots of
juicy information available from the 'volume' object. Thanks for that!

Thanks for that as well, although not what I was looking for, I'll save
that for a rainy day. :)
Just for message consistency, I've reposted Tim Robert's example below:
def UnsignedHex( v ):
if v >= 0: return '%08X' % v
return '%08X' % (0x100000000 + v )
print UnsignedHex( win32api.GetVolumeInformation('C:\\')[1] )
Thanks again to everyone for your help.

<code>
import wmi
for volume in wmi.WMI ().Win32_LogicalDisk ():
print volume.Caption, "=>", volume.VolumeSerialNumber
</code>
