OK, HAVE MY PRODUCT KEY NOW. BUT THIS BUGGER HAS MODIFIED THE SYSTEM
WHERE
IT WILL NOT LET ME FORMAT C:
IS THERE ANOTHER COMMAND I CAN USE. TRIED FROM THE UTILITY DISK AS WELL,
WITH NO LUCK

It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.

Here are three other utilities which will also display your product key:
http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has
additional
features

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the
OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not
match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as
Dell use an internal
key code when they build your PC.

The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD that
hopefully
came with your PC.
