Reading hard drive serial number

[Av8tordude]

I have a code that inputs the HDD serial number in a text file, however when I run the code below to check if the HDD serial number matches the number in the text file, it gives an incorrect response. When I put the HDD serial number in a cell, the code response is correct. What am i missing?

        Status = Trim(Split(f, vbCrLf)(2))        
        If Status = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetDrive("C:\").SerialNumber Then
            Msgbox "Yes"
        Else
            Msgbox "No"
        End If
