Hi Guys and Gals
My sister brought her pc over for me to repair.
Wouldn't eaven boot anymore. So i ask her if she has XP cd and yes she
does. She will bring it over. So while she is on the way over i save all
her personal data by installing her hard drive to my pc as a slave.
Then formatt the drive, put it back in her pc.
She arives with xp cd but no product key.
Question is, is there a way i can retrieve the key from the cd with out
haveing it installed?
Hope someone can help me out here.
Thanks.

If it is in the original case the product key is on a label stuck on the
case. It can't be retrieved from the CD.
