Install Poof

[Ryan]

I lost my registration key for Windows XP and i want to
reinstall the program, is there any way i can obtain it
again?

Thanks

Sure, just start the reinstall and when prompted to enter the registration
key, call the number on the screen and tell them your dilemma. They will
provide you with a new key if your story washes!

Greetings --

The Windows 25-character Product Key (required to perform the
installation) is stored somewhere on the CD packaging on a bright
orange sticker that says "Do not lose this number." If it was an OEM
(factory installed) license, it's stored on a label that the PC
manufacturer affixed to the exterior of the PC case, or on the bottom
of a laptop.

To recover a lost Product Key:

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact whomever sold you the
OS; although very few manufacturers/vendors keep records of the
Product Keys they've sold, it's worth a try before you have to buy a
new license.

I heard that M$ doesnt replacce 'lost' key if you are merely doing the
're-install' just for the fun of it.

Good luck.
