Reformating hard drive... TroUbLEd

[cac]

Ok of all the many times i reformatted my own personal computer using my streamline of winxp pro and sp2 with all the hotfixes, this time is the worst.

A long time ago I bought winxp and registered my computer, etc. Well about a year ago i made a streamline of winxp, xp2, and the hotfixes and burned it to a cd, This cd has been great for the last 10 months but all of a sudden when i just reformmated early, it says my CD key is invalid?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


what do i do now? I cant find my original cd that i bought with the retail of winxp like 4 years agao, am I SOL? and forced to buy another winxp cd?

Do you still have the current system up and running? That's not clear from your post.

If so, download AIDA32. It's a system info utility.

It can pull out your MS Keys and you can save them.
