Savage Beatings Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I think that I have lost my Windows System discs in the last move that my family made. I was going to use them last night and I tore apart the entire house looking for them without any luck. Am I screwed? Do I basically just have to go out and buy a new set of Windows discs here? I can't really think of any alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly the ones that have the young techs that come out to the house.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does you can usually get replacement disks (say they are broken) for around 10.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cherni Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The easiest way to do this without having your discs or a sticker is to use this piece of software which will give you the serial number for any Windows installation. http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it will also scan your computer and send all your private information, pron, and financial passwords to Nigeria. But that is pretty standard. http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml 1315867[/snapback] fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
