XP Product Key

[Guest]

I realised that the part of the certificate authetication that shows the
product key for my Windows XP software is been torn off, ergo lost my product
key. Is there anyway I can recover my product key? I have the software copy
with me.

Hi

If you've still got XP installed, try this program to find the Product Key:

Hi Will,

That's the problem, I only have my original copy of XP with me. The
programme crashed, it was formatted & I need to re-install my software.

Not applicable to OEM XP CDs though - you will have to contact your supplier
if that is the case.

Try unformatting the drive (there is software that will do this, or at
least attempt to).

Then try

Good luck
