822115 2009-10-19 21:11:00 Hey my mate is coming over to get me to reinstall his laptop but I need to get the cd key but xp wont boot. Was wondering if UBCD has a program to do it. nedkelly (9059)

822117 2009-10-20 04:40:00 What you can also do is remove the HDD, slave it to another working PC, use Magic jellybean (www.magicaljellybean.com) - you open the program, Tools/Load Hive/ go to Drive letter\windows\system32\config\software - OK and hopefully there is the Key.

OR As per this article (techrepublic.com.com).

BUT if the product key is a factory installed one you may find it wont work or activate - just use the COA on the bottom of the laptop.

Yep, and if that key doesn't work ring up M$ and they should give you a new one free.
