Assuming that you are running a web app then, I concour with Richard.

If however you are talking about a client in a more traditional sense,
in that you have a specific client application, then that client
application could get the computers hard disk, in the same way as any
other application could.

In Linux, they can simply parse files like /proc/cpuinfo, or something
like that.

Why exactly do you want to do this?
