Depending on your need and current situation, you may have options. - Have you searched the machine for a sticker with a product key printed on it? - Have you ran any applications like Belarc Advisor or Magic JellyBean KeyFinder to attempt to get the key from your currently installed Windows XP? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

Lost Original Windows XP CD but need to reformat
Mary,
I have not looked up on your PC's specs, but, on most newer PCs - thy have a built-in feature whereby an "image" of the XP installation, as it was when it left the factory, is written to a hidden part of your hard-drive. This can then be restored to the main [visible] part of your hard-drive [C:\] usually, by pressing F10 - BEFORE Windows loads. i.e.; After you press the "power on" button, but *before* the "Windows XP loading..." screens. Having said that it is usually F10, it may be F9 or some other F-key, but just which - there should be a message displayed (right after you press the "power on" button) something similar to : "Press F9 for recovery options." at the bottom of a screen together with the PC manufacturer's logo on it... Alternatively, writing to the PC manufacturer may provide you with a replacement disk for a minimal administration fee. The place to start, I would say, would be to peruse your PC manufacturer's website for more information. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "mary" wrote in message ... i need to reformat a computor but it tells me that it is locked what do i do and what f button do i use so i could set the computor to the factory set "ling" wrote: Hello, I need to reformat my computer.
