Hey guys. I have this toshiba laptop I need to find a serial number for (for work). The serial number is scratched out and PC wizard was able to show the serial # but the unit blue screened immediately. So I was wondering if there is a command in terminal that may show the number I need. Thanks in advance.

You can try lshw. It shows all sort of numbers from devices.

Alright booting a livecd to give it a shot. Thanks. If anyone has anything else to try in case this doesn't work feel free to give it a shot.
EDIT: Is this from arch linux only? I have a crunchbang cd im trying and it shows command not found. Should I load my arch cd?

pacman -S dmidecode dmidecode -s system-serial-number
Is there a way to do this without installing arch?

1. Boot arch live cd.
2. Configure network.
3. Set pacman mirror
4. pacman -Syy dmidecode
5. dmidecode -s system-serial-number
Or boot from another liveCD that includes dmidecode.
