A few years ago I upgraded two different computers to XP home. One of
them just experienced a hard drive crash, so I need to put in a new
drive and reinstall XP.

The problem is that I don't recall which upgrade disk is which. Since
the machines are very different I gather this is important as the
registration is hardware sensitive to prevent casual
piracy of XP.

So the questions are:

1) How can I find the product registration number on the working
machine -- in order to determine which upgrade CD was used on that
machine.

2) Is there any other way of determining which CD was used on which
machine?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the help! That did the trick -- and for anyone searching the
archives later on down the road, the program was virus free.
 
You're welcome - glad your problem is solved.
