Hi, i have two computers, the older one runs win2000 which crashed and
would not boot up because of an error in windows directory. I booted
up from win2000 CD and the repair function wouldnt repair the damage
so i reinstalled windows only to realise ive lost my activation key!!
So i decided to use the win XP CD from the newer computer to install
that. I am vaugley sure that it allows you to install it on a
secondary machine aswell although was not very sure. Sure enough after
installing winXP its product ID no longer works.
Help anyone?
is ther anyway i can discover my old key for win2000 without actually
being able to run it?
does winXP product key work for only 1 machine?
dont fancy paying another 70quid for a bloody 25 digit code!
any help would be appreciated
