Greetings,
I'm wondering if there's any way to get a (free, preferably)
replacement code for my copy of WinXP. I have the genuine disc but
because it came pre-installed on my previous machine (an Alienware
which I no longer have - got rid of it to a friend about a year ago
and the registration code is on a sticker on the inside of the access
door), it did not have the typical packaging with the registration
sticker. To make matters worse, I hunted through all of my files and
could not find - surprisingly enough for me - that I had not recorded
the installation code anywhere. Is there a way to get a valid code?
I understand that the code does not travel with the installation disc,
just that there's a validation algorithm run on a given code to see
that it is valid.
Thanks,
Mike
