This may sound a big bit naive,My HDD failed &had to put in a new one. Have license key, but not install disc. Am i able to use my key on someone elses install disc ?david6682 How is it you have the product code and not the original disk ?
Are you refering to an original Windows cd or a propioratory install/restore set ?

dl65 dl65 thanks for your response. The PC was bought as a package & XP home was ALREADY installed. The key is on a sticker on the PC cabinet. I did receive a restore disc, it won't open in the old hdd,but it does in the new hdd. All it wants to do is start the ghosting process but there is nothing to ghost.You need to contact the manuf. as each one does it a bit differently...your recovery files are on a HIDDEN PARTITION on that HDD somewhere.patio, thanks for your response,I'll heed that advice. Being a technological dinosaur definitely has it's disadvantagesBest of Luck to you and don't TAKE no for an answer...remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
