Vista Product Code question

I had a hard drive crash and had to move all the data again.  Now, I get an error saying that my Visa is not an authorized version.  How can I find the product key to reactivate?  I don't have the sticker on the back and the software I have does not have the code?  I bought this laptop DELL at Best Buy a little more than a year.

Thank you.
