Get a Unique ID for a Hard disk attached to a PC in .net

Question

As the question states I need some way of getting a unique ID for each of the drives attached to my PC.

The reason behind this is that if i store the location of a file in a DB and I want to retrieve it at a later stage I wont always get the file since the drive letters change depending on the number of drives plugged in.
