I have a tricky dilemma I'm in.
I have a customer who has (so she claims) a valid copy of Windows XP on
her existing machine. However, it will not boot. She has lost the
sticker, packaging, etc and thus has no way of retrieving her cdkey. I
have a working harddrive, but no matching motherboard to boot it off
of. I can't do a repair without her key. I can't get into Windows to
get her key without a repair.
This being such, I'm looking for a bootable tool which retrieves CD
keys from Windows XP operating systems. I've had no luck experimenting
with Knoppix, or ERD commander. I've tried to run key-retrieval tools
from ERD, but it only returned information about ERD.
It would be very useful to have this tool in the future as well, as I
know this isn't the first time this has happened. (Staff promised
customer we could keep her existing copy of XP, realize we can't,
customer throws a fit.)
Please help! Anything is appreciated!
Thank you all in advance,
Ryan
