How to get windows key without windows working?
Hi,
Tomorrow my friend is bringing his laptop to me to re install windows as something wont let it start up (probably a virus as he does not have a anti virus and clicks banners on the net etc)
The only problem we have is that he has lost the key as he brought xp seperatly. Is it possible to find the key if we boot up the computer in ubuntu using the run off cd option?
thanks
p.s. just found out where the key is, in the registry, but does anyone know of a program that i will open the registry in ubuntu that will work when running it off the cd?
