Where can I find my serial number (in XP Home or on the CD install) ???
Hi buddies,
Let me tell you a funny story.
I bought a COMPAQ laptop with winXP Home edition. All they give me with that in a CD "Recovery process" but you have to lauch it from windows with "quickrestore". The problem is I have formatted my hard disk to clean it, hoping to install a version of win2K. But that is not possible !!! Compaq has locked my laptop, they call it "designed for windowsXP".
I am on a boat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico...with internet access.
The solution I found is to borrow a CD install of XP Home of one of my collegue, but he left his product key at home ! With MY key, it doesn't work ! So...
Where can I find (on his laptop or on his CD install) his windows XP Home product key ?
Thanks to help a sailor in a big trouble, so I can run my CD recovery process !!!
