I lost my COA for Windows XP Pro, and I need to reformat
my hard drive due to too many errors (my kids downloaded
bad software). I have registered this OS with Microsoft
and have been getting updates from them. Is there
somewhere on the CD or a file on my hard drive that will
tell me what my COA number is? Or do I have to purchase
another COA? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
