BOOL DeviceIoControl(
  (HANDLE) hDevice,                         // handle to device
  IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_SERIAL_NUMBER,    // dwIoControlCode
  NULL,                                     // lpInBuffer
  0,                                        // nInBufferSize
  (LPVOID) lpOutBuffer,                     // output buffer
  (DWORD) nOutBufferSize,                   // size of output buffer
  (LPDWORD) lpBytesReturned,                // number of bytes returned
  (LPOVERLAPPED) lpOverlapped               // OVERLAPPED structure
