Startup Repair... He had to find the product key

Got a Vista computer that starts in the startup repair all the time no matter what, even in safe mode. I click on this pagehttp://grab.by/7Sse and nothing works to be able to reformat the computer.

Fortunately, I got the Vista installation DVD, but the only problem is I cannot find the product key for it, is there an easy way to get it back? I live Linux disks so I can do it like that. I tried a few programs through wine and neither work.

These are the programs I've tried under wine on Fedora:

    My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.

    Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.

    If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.

    See you soon.

  • Cannot find the product key for Microsoft Office 2007 on laptop

    I have MS Office 2007 pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I recently had to do a recovery and now my MS Office programs i.e. MS Word and Excel are blocked and I can not use! Where can I find the product key for pre-installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop?

    Hello coastaln8ive,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Since your Office 2007 pre-installed with Toshiba, you should contact Toshiba to see if they will provide with Office recovery disks.
    It would be Toshiba to provide records.

  • How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

    Product key for reinstallation question

    I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

    PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

    If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

    If you are unable to retrieve the product key provided with the system then Windows communicate with the system

    Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

    If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
    only retrieve your existing key.

  • I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key

    * Original title: product key

    I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key. Could someone guide me please.

    If you can't find the product key, you will need to buy a new one:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
